Sliding armrest and cargo liner

Sliding armrest and cargo liner
Can someone tell me what the difference is between the non-sliding (stock) and the sliding armrest? Is the only difference the sliding feature or is there a small extra compartment under the cover (thus making the console 2 tiered)? What are the benefits of replacing?
For those of you who ordered and replaced the stock armrest -
1. My interior is ASH LEATHER - Does it come in ASH and is the cover leather or plastic?
2. Does it fit perfectly with the bottom portion of the console?
3. What is the part number?
Is a cargo liner available for the Hybrid? Will there be one in the future?

Re: Sliding armrest and cargo liner
I had the XLE for a while and the sliding rest is better for me since I had it forward. However the "detent" which is supposed to keep it there is weak so it easily slides back and forth which is annoying. The Avalon has a locking mechanism so it stays where you want it to. I think the foam cushioning in the TCH armrest is too thin and mine is now compressed where my elbow hits it, resulting in discomfort. I now have a small pillow there to rest my elbow on for my hour long commutes.

If you go to the TCH photo section and serach for "armrest", you will see that John312 has posted 4 pictures of the sliding armrest installed in his TCH.

Re: Sliding armrest and cargo liner
I bought and installed the sliding armrest from a dealer on ebay. Cost was $159. I have the bisque leather and the new one matches exactly. Same Bisque leather. Inatallation took all of 5 minutes once you get enought courage to pull/yank the rear A/C plate off - held down by the same clips as the center console for those of you that fixed the squeak. Four screws and thats it. Couldn't been easier. I like having rhe extra elbow room and covering up the storage hole is great.

Is the sliding armrest covered in leather just as the stock armrest (w. leather interior) in the TCH? Is the sliding mechanism strong and sturdy. Will it loosen and sag (towards the front) after prolonged use?

Re: Sliding armrest and cargo liner
The armrest is an OEM part - appears to be very sturdy - I would not expect it to sag and it's identical to the the leather in the rest of the car.
The dealers eBay id is pricetoyota_scion I'm sure u can search for his store - He is a Toyota dealer. He also gave me permission to post his store id. He didn't show the armrest on the site but responded quickly to emails. I believe he can obtain any offical Toyota part u need.
