There's really no way to nicely repair those pieces if they are dried out, chalky, etc. Sure, you can try covering them w/vinyl but now the grain pattern is incorrect.
On the bench seat hinge covers....were those originally a textured/grained appearance? (EDIT: Found repros of these and see they are a similar grain/texture to the armrest bases).
What color armrest bases? What length? (12" or the longer 16").
Seatbelt retractor covers are repro'd and there are at least two styles available. I've installed those before on front seat retractors.
You may be able to find better original pieces...even if the color isn't correct, they can be painted/dyed (I've done A LOT of those).....thus my question on the color and length.
I have a bunch of the 12" front armrest bases here as well as one or so pairs of the longer bases. As far as repro armrest bases...I tend to stay away from those....they don't seem to line up well on the screw holes into the door shell and always require reaming/wallowing-out in that area.
