I'm trying to replace the material on top of the armrest and I have been unsuccessful so far. I have a standard size t50 stapler but the smallest staples I can find are 1/4", which are way too big and don't go far enough into the hard plastic.

For the people that have done this, what size staples did you use and where can I get them? Thanks!
 






If you are talking about the center armrest/console cover, I just covered mine last night. I left the old vinyl cover on. It looks to have been replaced sometime in the past. I covered mine in felt, for my dog to sit on. I used my Arrow Staple gun with 1/4" and 3/8" T50 staples. Some would not hold, so I just moved over a bit. Seems to hold real tight.
