Edit: Excuse the dusty nastiness under the sliding mystery piece of my armrest.

Had my elbow on there a while back and I leaned on it, when I did the armrest slid forward to reveal this cover. Finally got around to takin' a pic to ask what this is.

So, any ideas?

Ya it's all dusty and nasty underneath the sliding part. leather needs a good scrubbing too. Thanks for pointing out something I'm already self conscious about though Light leather is way too hard to keep clean.

I have the same. It's just an armrest extender. I just discovered mine a few months back. Depends how you want to position your forearm. the little sticker is just warning you that it slides and to be careful that's all

Well that makes sense. I guess I was over thinking it, I thought it was some sort of access point for maintenance or something along those lines. The little sticker is on a button of some sort though...
