If you can't find one then maybe an automotive trim shop can repair the one you have

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a replacement for the driver’s side armrest of my 2007 Lexus LS450? The armrest is disintegrating, and I understand this is a common problem with that model. Thanks.

Here's what I found: On the 2015 Lexus RX350 (AL10 generation) center console lid, the leather is typically wrapped around a foam pad and secured to the underside of the lid shell with staples. The challenge is that the plastic inner panel must be separated first. Generally, the process is: Remove the entire console lid from the vehicle. Open the lid. Remove the hinge screws from the rear. Turn the lid upside down. You'll see the inner plastic trim panel attached to the upper padded section. Release the retaining clips. Use a plastic trim tool or a small flat screwdriver. Work your way around the perimeter. The inner panel is usually held by several snap tabs rather than screws. Take care because older Lexus plastic can become brittle. Separate the inner plastic panel from the padded upper section. Once the clips are released, the underside of the upholstered portion becomes visible. You should now be able to access the staple ends securing the leather cover. Remove the staples. A small staple remover, dental pick, or needle-nose pliers works well. Remove only enough staples to peel back the old cover. One thing worth mentioning: many aftermarket replacement skins for the RX350 are installed using contact adhesive or spray adhesive in addition to, or instead of, replacing every staple. This can make the installation significantly easier when working with older plastic. If you are looking at the lid and do not see any obvious clips around the perimeter, tell me whether the vehicle has: The standard leather armrest lid, or The wood-trimmed armrest lid, and ideally send a photo of the underside. Lexus used a couple of different lid constructions during that generation, and I can point out the exact release points.

Just in case no one has personal experience, here's what I found: For a 75 lb German Shepherd in a 2026 Lexus RX450h+, I'd focus on crates that have been independently crash-tested and are designed for SUV cargo areas. Thule Allax Travel Dog Crate Current price: $1,149.99$1,149.99 Sportsman's Warehouse & others Rating 4.5 out of 5, 235 ratings4.5 (235) Thule Allax is one of the strongest current choices for crossover SUVs. It was designed with vehicle-crash safety in mind, has a crumple-zone style construction, and is available in multiple sizes to help fit modern SUV cargo areas. The adjustable depth can be especially helpful in an RX.

These designs are durable and popular among owners of large working breeds, though I'd still verify the exact crash-testing standards before purchase. [rogersspor...ggoods.com] My personal shortlist for your vehicle would be: Thule Allax (Large or XL, depending on your dog's dimensions) Excellent SUV compatibility Easier daily access Good ventilation Designed specifically for vehicle travel Gunner G1 Intermediate or Large Frequently considered one of the gold standards for crash protection Extremely rugged Heavy, but very secure RuffLand Large Kennel Lighter than a Gunner Popular with large-breed owners Often fits crossovers more easily Before ordering, measure: Dog's height while sitting Dog's nose-to-base-of-tail length RX cargo opening width and height Cargo depth with the rear seats in your preferred position For a 75 lb German Shepherd, fit is just as important as crash performance. A crate that is too large can allow excessive movement during an impact.
