Splitting Armrest

Splitting Armrest
The armrest on the driver's door of my 2009 Fit Sport has split for the second time. Honda did replace the first one. Has anyone else had this issue? Could be a design flaw - maybe the plastic is too thin?

The armrest is unusable for me because it is at the wrong height relative to the seat. I wind up resting an elbow on the "ledge" by the window until my arm gets tired or falls asleep. My armrest will never break from use.

I made door armrest pads for mine when the panels started cracking - I don't think they were intended to be door armrests - they aren't sculpted for an arm, they aren't padded... I think they're just for looks, like those shutters and balconies you see on the windows of ticky-tacky houses in newer suburban subdivisions.

Both my driver and passenger side armrests cracked, probably within the first few months of ownership. Dealer replaced them both under warranty, and so far have held up...maybe they've reinforced them?

Someone there references a service bulletin: Armrest Cracked
