Step 1. Heat up the armrest with a hair-dryer on hi for 2-3 minutes. The leather will warm and become more stretchy, with an armrest this tight as on the Mazda3 it's very important to get as much stretch as you can. Locate the front of the armrest cover and if applicable, insert the padding inside the cover placing it as far towards the front as possible.
Step 2. Slip the armrest cover over the armrest starting in the front.
Step 3. It is preferrable if you have a friend hold the elastic across the front to take out all the slack out of it while you work your way towards the back.
Step 4. Grab the sides of the armrest at the bottom as you pull back (make sure you grab the bottom of the leather and not the elastic so you don't rip the sewing as you tug on it). As you pull back, the foam padding will slide backwards as well.make sure it does so just enough so that it clears the sliding armrest button and no more.
Step 5. Work your way backwards slowly pushing down on the foam on top to get all the slack out as it will be a very tight fit at the back.
Step 6. Grab one corner in the back pulling from the bottom of the leather and over the corner of the armrest.make sure the elastic is at least below the edge of the armrest.
Step 7. Hold the corner that you just did against the armrest and with the other hand repeat step 6 for the other corner. In 6 & 7, if you encounter any difficulty, make sure you get rid of all the slack there is from the front to the back and try again.
Step 8. Tuck the elastic edges hanging off the back under the armrest for both aesthetic purposes and for the sliding armrest (if applicable) to function properly.
Leather care: apply a leather conditioner with UV protection every 4-6 weeks to keep it from drying out and cracking.
