Somebody put it together; surely somebody else can take it apart and replace
whatever necessary. 'May get tedious removing threads, etc., holding it
together, but I'd bet it can be done, 'less it's held together with some
exotic glue, "welding," etc.
'Course, on just the armrest, there's not terribly much of it.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] seat finally repaired
Is it possible to replace just the vinyl piping on a W123 arm rest? It's
cracked and pinches my forearm when I rest my arm on it.

I finally took the spring base I got from Kaleb last year and hit the
upholstery shop yesterday. The new pieces [driver's seat and seat back
where you slide in and out, top and side of arm rest] are just a bit

a
bit. They did a fine job and the seat is a whole lot better, though I
think
the bill was a bit skewed. They put it at $200 parts and $20 labor for
replacing the spring base with mine and putting in the new pieces. They
had
it for 6 hours, but it is hard to imagine they could do the seat removal,
base replacement, disassembly and sewing in the new pieces and reinstall
for
$20, or that the replacement pieces were $200. Doesn't matter, I guess.
I'm quite pleased with the result.
