I have a 2002 OBS (great car) that has the arm rest option. I believe the arm rest lid is too hard as it is somewhat painful to rest my elbow on. I am 6'4" and my elbow rests heavily on it while I steer with my right arm.
Does anyone have a simple solution to permanently cushion the lid. The key here is permanently not temporarily.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Get it reupholstered to your liking. Won't be too expensive, it's just the top of the armrest.

Places like overstock.com (and many others - do a web search for "memory foam" or "visco-elastic foam") sell memory foam like they use in the tempur-pedic beds You could get a mattress topper and cut it up, or just buy a pillow and use that as your source material. An upholstery shop should be able to do a nice job removing the old stuff, though the increased thickness will probable require a new outer cover.
Yeah, I was thinking maybe a gel pad from a computer mousepad wrist rest. Or trade the extended armrest back for a normal one - there are folks here that I'm sure would do that and cover the postage both ways.
