Puzau driver-side armrest for 2010–2014 Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra — front left, OEM-style leather, reinforced steel

Puzau 22818465 front left driver armrest is a direct-fit replacement for 2010–2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, rebuilt with OEM-grade leather, reinforced steel, and thickened components for long-lasting durability.

If your Silverado or Sierra has a cracked, sagging, or broken interior door armrest and you want a cost-effective, factory-style repair without replacing the entire door panel, this Puzau driver-side armrest kit restores function, appearance, and structural strength. Designed to match factory contours and mounting points, it installs using the existing holes with no drilling. The assembly uses genuine Mazda OEM leather, an ABS keel frame, a 30mm thickened door-handle core, and reinforced steel to prevent the common breakage that affects older trucks.

How does this armrest match my truck’s original fit and finish?

This armrest is engineered as a direct GM OEM replacement and aligns with the factory mounting points for the driver door on 2010–2014 Silverado and Sierra models. The leather covering and textured finishes are selected to blend with original interiors, giving a near-factory appearance after installation.

• Direct bolt-in design using existing factory holes—no cutting or drilling.
• Materials chosen to visually match OEM door panels and trim.
• Compatible with models where the door release handle sits below the vertical armrest.
• Replaces OEM part numbers including 22818465 and associated variants.

What makes this armrest stronger than the original part?

Puzau upgraded the internal structure to address common failure points. Built-in reinforced steel and a hardened 30mm interior door-handle core resist bending and breakage under heavy use, while an ABS keel frame provides overall rigidity.

• Reinforced steel insert to prevent armrest cracking and collapse.
• 30mm thickened hardened interior handle core for load resistance.
• ABS keel frame for improved structural integrity across the mounting surface.
• 3M foam cushioning to damp vibration and reduce squeaks.

Is installation difficult and will I need special tools?

Installation is designed to be straightforward for DIYers and technicians alike. The part uses factory mounting points and hardware replacement, so no vehicle modification is required; a standard set of hand tools is usually all that’s needed.

• Direct GM OEM fit—no drilling or panel alteration required.
• Includes a QR-code-linked manual with step-by-step installation video guidance.
• Works as a one-to-one replacement for the driver-side interior door handle assembly.
• Compatible with Silverado 1500 (2010–2013), Silverado 2500/3500HD (2010–2014), GMC Sierra 1500 (2010–2013), Sierra 2500/3500HD (2010–2014).

How does choosing this kit save money compared with dealer repair?

Replacing the armrest assembly rather than the entire door panel avoids the higher labor and parts charges typically quoted by dealerships. This kit focuses on the failed component, delivering a professional-grade repair at a fraction of the cost.

• Replaces only the damaged armrest and handle assembly—not the full door panel.
• OEM-style materials and reinforced structure provide long-term value.
• Lower parts and labor costs when installed yourself or by an independent shop.
• QR-code installation video reduces installation time and mistakes.

It’s a good match for DIY mechanics, independent body shops, and fleet managers who want a reliable, OEM-compatible repair without replacing the whole door panel. If your truck’s door release handle is located below the vertical armrest and you want a durable, cost-effective solution that restores factory fit, this kit is built for that purpose.
