In this video I replace the center console upholstery in my Acura RL. After calling around I found out this would cost me between $100 and $175 dollars. For 40 dollars you can do this quick repair with professional results.

Saved time, money and now my RL looks great inside! I was able to follow the simple instructions and your time saving advice helped make this DIY project far easier and pain-free. I used medium binder clips instead of clamps and they worked fine. Thank you for posting!
After 6 years since your upload video. Now I purchased it on Amazon for $11.00, and follow your steps to make my acura look new again inside. Thank you so much 😊.
Another RL center console saved! Thank you again for the walk thru video. From shredded to brand new, to me anyway lol.
Jon, thanks so much for this instructional video. I am a 63 year old woman, and I was able to replace my center console cover with a new leather one in no time flat, thanks to these easy instructions. (I must admit that I was at first stumped by the fact that there were no visible screws in the first plate!!) Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate this!
Kathleen, Thanks for the feedback. Glad I could help, Jon
Love this comment, good job Kathleen!
this video was a life saver i just completed the job without this video i thing i would have jumped off the bridge....lol... thank you very much
Thank you!! This video also worked for my child's 2005 RL. Grateful for your video and your service. Thanks.
Glad it worked for you! don't forget to hit that subscribe button! Thanks Jon
A child should not own this car lol
Great video, thank you! I purchased the replacement covers, if they weren't leather they sure looked like it, unlike the original Acura garbage. I contemplated re-covering them myself, ended up paying $40 to have a local shop do it, it was money well spent. They put new foam in, top notch job. The tips on putting it back together were much appreciated, thank you!
ozmark you located in Cali?
Excellent video explaining how to repair the center console leather. Acura should have used Better leather on both the door armrests and center console. This video will save you several hundred dollars. Thanks much.
Perry, I agree, I cant believe the cheap stuff they put on the center console.Thanks for the comment.
You sir are a life saver!
Thanks for the help. I have an 08 RL.
Go moles!
Good video thanks for the help
great video thank you!
Just saved me a couple bucks 👌🏿
Short, proper, to the point. Subbed!
Thanks Patrick, glad I could help. Jon
Thanks for posting.
Thank you
Looks great. can you believe that acura used cheap vinyl on their top of the line car?
what kind of foam would you recommend if I were to replace the original foam? it's kind of flat. I looking for a foam that will withstand daily use.
Daniel, I agree 100%. I paid a lot for this car and the last thing I expected was when they said leather interior that they just meant the seats. I'm sure you can get some thin foam at Jo Ann Fabrics/Hancock Fabrics that will be thin and cheap. You don't need it to be very thick. It might change the look or make it look bumpy if its too thick.

Thank you!!
Great video and very helpful! Do you have one for replacing the door armrests (both driver and passenger) along with sites to purchase? Thanks again!

Very helpful thanx!!!
Hi this cover on your video is a beige tan ? Or beige only ??
Tan. Link in description
Hi Jon, instead of spray adhesive, can I use superglue? I've a lot of it. Thanks.
I have no idea. Not sure what it would look like on the large surface area. But it sounds like it would work for the wrap around areas.
@@JONSDIY Got it. Did you spray any spray adhesive on the large surface area where the arm actually rests? Or just on the edges?
@@oldporkchops yes I did it there too
is the adhesive on the armrest side where the foam is not needed? I didn't see you spray the adhesive. thanks.
+Ben Nguyen You are correct. You want it to be able to slide around a little when you are pulling it tight. I did not apply any on the side where your arm would rest. Jon
I'm probably going to end up doing this to my RL, the only problem is my arm rest's foam is completely flattened. Do you have any idea where I could get some new foam from? Does it matter what foam I use?
I would recommend completely removing the foam and doing it without the foam but if you want to add a little thin layer of foam you can buy it at Michaels arts and crafts
@@JONSDIY Awesome, I really appreciate such a fast response time especially given how long ago this video was made. Great work 👍🏾
how do you trim the corners? They're bulging out.
Right around 3:53 in the video you can see that I pull from the corners first. Then directly beside the corners to make the corners as flush as possible. If you have to much material don't be afraid to trim it back a bit where the material over laps. Just be sure not to cut to much where you can't pull it all the way over the edge without your cuts showing. Thanks Jon

RH?
intro is so awful, I had to stop this video immediately
Good. Because I now know you will continue to drive around with a crappy console! Hahahahaha! Nothings better than knowing a Troll has a crappy console!
uff... thanks for reply, I was woried to spend more time to look for this video again :)))
Don't you worry, I am able to skip intro and i will use your tips to replace my armrest cover. Thanks again!
I think you should definitely subscribe to my channel. This way you can watch all my videos but skip the intros!
sure, why not
U should do a fix that covers the glove compartment damages
No lie. I have already bought the material. My dash looks like silly putty.
@@JONSDIY PLEASE DO!
These glove compartments are awful.
