Anyone else find the top of the driver's side door to be very pointy and quite hard? It's not comfortable to rest an arm there.
I'm short and sit up quite high, so my arms fall there rather than on the armrest. Any solutions to this?

I was looking at pictures of my previous 5th gen 4runner interior and the top of the driver's side door was flat, soft and covered in pleather.
 
I'm curious about this because it's come up a few times. I would never rest my arm there with the window up. And with the window down and my elbow sticking out, the angled surface is perfect for me to rest my arm - my arm's at a roughly 30 degree downward angle and so is the door top surface. If it was flat I'd be resting my arm on only the outside edge and / or the window gasket. It's perfect as-is imho.
