Anyone use a pad to rest their left elbow on while driving?
 
I usually rest my left elbow/forearm on the top of the door close to the window while driving. It is a very hard surface. I've seen a few arm pads on the internet and am considering purchasing one. Has anyone here ever used one of these types of pads?

I like!

I would reccomend one that extends into the driver side so you don't have to lean left to rest on the pad.

If you find one, I'd love to know about it.

Epic fail! I would be laughed at by all my friends for using something like that. It looks functional but looks pretty wimpy. But, to each his own.

If it made driving more comfortable I would care less what others thought of it. That door can be quite uncomfortable after hours-on-end driving.

To each his own but you can't be digging the scenes
with a gangster lean by resting on the drivers door.....:D :rofl:

Best to lean inboard, not outboard. Safer, and gives better vision.

:iagree:...I may check that and others out. The door sill and center console
in our '01, is like resting your elbow on a brick.
