snap on door arm rest for 1931 roadster
 

1 Attachment(s)
When I bought my 1931 deluxe roadster it had Snap-on cloth arm rests on the top of each door (see picture attached). Somehow the passenger side has gone missing. I've checked on some Model A parts website and have not been able to find one. If anyone has an idea where I can buy one (or a new set) please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I would think that they could make them for you.

Seems like an easy job for a good upholstery shop especially since you have one they can use as a template.

I don’t know about New Jersey, but we have a lot of upholstery shops here in Southern California that do custom work for hot rods.

Check around to see if there is a shop nearby.

The door protector pads are in the current Classtique Upholstery catalog but are a bit pricey at $500. a set for the Stayfast canvas set. I too want a set. Perhaps someone else may offer a set

It’s $159.95. You can’t beat that price even if you made them yourself.

Thanks for the link. The only problem with this item is that it is unclear if it has the snaps. The description says - "Great idea to protect your door paint. Clips into side curtain studs. Available in tan canvas. Used on all open cars. Soft napped backing. Fasteners NOT included - Order UF40." Also, when I searched UF40 the same item came up.

I can see them not installing the snaps to ensure there is not a mismatch with the position of your current snaps.
