Mine isn't worn, it's just stiff, rough, and disgusting. It's like someone ran a marathon in suede underwear.

It seems to me that this is a common problem even on the IX. The drivers side door panel is also showing some wear along with some wrinkles in the front seat
corners

haha

I got the pitpass. And when I came to get my oil change they voided it cause of drop in filter. So that oil temp is nothing I'd suspect. Mitsu is at it again

Guys just put a small towel over the center console cover, if your gonna rest your elbow on it. It should prolong the wear.

yea mine did this too big surprise, i just used the brush you get with a can of upholstery cleaner to comb out the lint and whatnot out of it but i didnt use the cleaner though for fear of getting the fibers all matted up.

my armrest is worn to ****

the best alternative to spending like 130 bones on a new OEM mitsu one is to go to lancershop.com and get the Authority or Tyrant carbon fiber armrest cover- replaces the whole armrest, not just the outer covering. and its CF and cheaper than a stock replacement!

....and my driverside floormat ****TTT i have like two crators in that thing from rwhere i rest my feet constantly!and a little line from where the heel of my work boots minorly scrape when i wear them and let out the clutch
