I have the console / armrest on my console in between the bucket seats cracking on my 2000 Explorer. Is there any place to go for a replacement besides my $ Ford Dealer $ !
Thanks, MikeB

I dunno, but mine (97 XLT) is too and it looks like crap. I have the full leather interior and the cheesy plastic armrest is all cracking up. I'm thinking of having a leather cover done for it...

I found kits for sale to replace the console covering at

I ordered and replaced mine about two weeks ago and it is a perfect match. Very easy to install (it's even provided with the instructions with some helpful tips to make the replacement do-able by one person) and best of all, none of the proceeds (that I'm aware of) go to FORD!
Thanks, MikeB
replacement
No, that's a different problem. I had that one on a '94. That was where the support bracket would cracked on the hinged arm rest. This is on the later X'es with a lid of the center console and the plastic upholstery of the lid gets all cracked up. I actually liked the cloth upholstered hinged arm rest on the earlier X'es better.
