[Overdrive]

I have a 16 (purchased new) with fewer miles, and heck if I know if it was like that when I picked it up, but I do tend to use that arm pad to rest my arm, and a semi-permanent dent has developed there. You can't see it, but you can feel it if you run your hand across the material. The foam in the pad is really a barely-there material, and it compresses very easily. I was surprised too that it didn't last very long (I noticed this only a few months into ownership), but I'm not all that concerned.

If the whole thing does start to visibly sag I may bring it to their attention because a door card and its attachments shouldn't be doing that only a few years into existing, and I don't have 300 pounds of body weight to put on this thing even if I wanted to, so it's not like I'm abusing it. But as far as the padding is concerned, I just see it as an excuse to have the pads re-stuffed with some more substantial foam by a good upholsterer. I'm already inclined to do that with the paper thin padding that's in the armrest I have over my center console. That stuff just has no kind of resistance to it (although I shouldn't complain too much because a lot of people didn't get that accessory in the car at all over the last 5 years, so something's better than nothing, if barely).
