Wink Give your crossfire a really good rest ! $10

I have found that the arm rest is not what it should be and it really can be too hard on your elbow while driving normally. Determined to improve this I did a bunch of tries and finally came up with one that I liked.

I needed a nice smooth gel pad that was color matched the car and found it at Staples office supply. It is a simple mouse pad that I cut the mouse surface off of and mounted it to the door where my elbow fits.

This is terribly comfy and under $10. Until you try this you might be tempted to POO poo the idea. EVERYONE TO TRY THIS LOVED IT. You can stick it there for a simple test without cutting the mouse part, just slip it on and see the difference. I finally used RTV to attach it when I was sure this is for me, I can pull it off some day and it wont slip about===shear strength issues.

I also added a wrist pad to the top of the console with an overhang of the door area 1" to rest on the console where the right elbow normally hits. Try it out and see if you dont agree this is something that the factory should do, make softer gel pads on these surfaces.

Check it out youll be very much suprised, Woody
