I just replaced the worn armrest cover and wanted to pass along my results. I bought a cover on eBay for $26 (search for Center Console Armrest Cover Leather Synthetic for Volvo S70/V70/C70 93-01 Beige). You remove the arm rest, take it apart, pull the old cover off (glued around the edges), and then glue he new one on. I cutout the pieces of foam on the inside of the old cover that go on the sides and glued them to the sides of the base. I then stretched the new cover over the base and glued one end with contact cement and held it in place with clothes pins, then did the other end and then the sides, stretching it as much as I could and waiting a few hours between each step for the glue to dry. Came out great. Only area of concern was the two corners at the front edge - didn't have as much material there to work with as I would have liked but I made it work.
