The replacement covers I got off eBay are made of heavier, nicer leather, and are designed to be installed over the old covers without removal, which should give more padding. I haven't done it yet, so I can't report, but I've read some reports that said it was better. Personally I hate the flip down armrests, and I also hate the worthless center console, so I am working on a plan to choose a center console from another vehicle and adapt it to fit. Right now I'm looking at the Acura ones, which have a nice large and wide single padded center armrest and no seat mounted ones. I much prefer that type of center armrest. I will do a thread on it when I do it in the Spring. Meanwhile I have a lot of measuring to do.Would be interested in how you plan to replace the armrests as mine are bone thin when it comes to padding. Makes road trips way less comfortable.
What's a good fix for this? I assume just replacing the rear calipers?2010 CR-V built in Swindon, UK:
My dealer workshop said that the risk of stuck rear brakes, wellknown for Gen 2, also exists on Gen 3. Risk increases with too little use of rear brakes, i.e., too little heavy breaking.
The major sign of stuck brakes is hot wheels.
Gotcha, I have the fabric ones. They aren't terrible, but I want to redo the cushioning in it, was thinking of re-purposing some extra mass loaded vinyl scraps from my sound isolation project.The replacement covers I got off eBay are made of heavier, nicer leather, and are designed to be installed over the old covers without removal, which should give more padding.

I think that only dismantling and greasing of rear brakes was done at the dealer, no new calipers unless the excessive heat has caused permanent damage.What's a good fix for this? I assume just replacing the rear calipers?
