Broken Armrest 2013 Tahoe. Swap with 2010 panel without modification?

[GraniteTahoe]

Hi All, I have a 2013 Tahoe LS and the armrest/door pull has cracked and is now floppy (crappy plastic throughout these trucks, have the dash cracks starting too with 50k miles). I found a nice set of front door panels from a 2010 (Driver and Passenger) for a good price but I wasn't sure if they would fit. I can see the difference between them as the 2013 has more of a bubble extending down from the arm rest. Also wondering if the 2010 model is as prone to breaking as the 2013, hoping it might be stronger. I noticed threads about swapping Denali and Escalade panels with tahoe but haven't found a thread about swapping across years for the same model without modification. Also watching ebay but hate to order something only to find it is already breaking/broken too. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have the same problem with both front door armrests on my 2013 Tahoe. Did you find anything?

The 2 panels should be the same but you’ll want to check the space for window and mirror buttons. You can pull yours off and check the placement of the clips holding the panel on. Also go online to rock auto and see if they have the same part number or model years eg 2009-2013 driver door panel.

The driver panels are tab bit different.

The older models have a red reflector in the bottom corner of the panel. The newer ones don't.

Also as mentioned the trim pieces aren't interchangeable

I just went through the same. The earlier model one fits fine, even if it looks a bit different...
