Default Ford truck padded console top

Some time back there was a posting where someone used a Ford truck center console padded top for the Crossfire console. I can't find it anywhere on this site. Does anyone know of the listing or the application of the padded console top for the XF? I did find some threads on a padded top from back in 07 but was looking for something different. If you know of any way to pad the top of the console (which covers the dreaded cup holder) and that looks professionally made or proper for our interiors, I welcome any input or suggestions. PS - Does Mercedes have any padded console tops that will work on the XF console?

Thanks,

Jim

zeracer - Dash kits? Do these have the padded console cover? What are they listed under on ebay?

Let me know,

I thought it was Red Dog who wrote a thread on these but I cannot find the thread so I guess it was someone else. It was someone well known. Someone else made some for sale. I once used a long keyboard gel pad until it leaked, the grippy rubber on the back of it held it in place.
Edit
It was Red Dog who did the post look for ‘The ultimate armrest / cup holder solution’ thread he did. Put ‘armrest’ in search. It was 05-24-2014, what a memory. CLICK

Thanks again, 180 for your search and attachment. I think that looks pretty nice. That would solve two problems in one shot!

Has anyone swapped out the Crossfire armrest for the Mercedes SLK320 armrest? they are both the same part number and it looks to be a little more comfortable?

Same part number = same part.
That is if all ten part numbers are the same.
