I was loading some wood into my beloved 2016 Yeti to go to the tip this morning and didn't spot the screws sticking out and managed to rip holes in the armrest on the passenger side 🤬

Am I able to replace just that pad, or would I need a whole new door card?

A trip to a breakers yard would seem the best option. Can’t see why you just can’t change the pad but you would need to properly dismantle to see how the pad is secured to the door card. Breakers yard should solve it.

It's all one bit. At least, it is on every other VW I've seen. I took a chunk out of my vRS door card putting some trim back in. I've never managed to sort it, as the one card that came up on eBay was in worse condition than mine.

A breakers yard would be a good option but, like me, you might find that they're all knackered.
