    Apparently nobody has armrest pads in stock (they claim its the oil shortage?). Anyhow, looking for 72 buick white 12" - is one brand better than another OPGI vs FUSICK vs YearOne, etc? Are they hard plastic or soft? Can mine be recovered in new vinyl? Any for sale out there? Thx.

    Make sure that you get the white for buick 1972. It is not bright white..

    Originals can be re-covered if the underlying foam is still in good shape. I've done quite a few steps but it costs a lot more than buying repros which may or may not be "correct".

    Ames Pontiac has some very nice repro armrests (12") if you can get the correct color from them (or they could be painted/dyed). They need a bit of work on the underside of the pad to fit better but they seemed to look A LOT better than other repro pads I've had. Many repros are made too tall which may not be big deal to you but to me they sort of scream "incorrect!".
