Arm rest pad repair/recommendations

The door armrests haven't ever been all that comfortable with the vinyl interior in the first place, but my driver's arm rest is now wearing out where my elbow regularly rests on it:

Does anyone have experience with repairing their armrest or making it more comfortable? Now that the hardening rip is actually scratching my elbow, it's time to do something

I'm thinking I'd like a slightly cushioned black alcantara pad or something like that that just sticks to the vinyl in that one spot - does anybody know of something like that?

Great links, particularly the first (mine's vinyl), thanks!

FWIW, still interested in the pad, even if I do repair this.
