My local dealer dropped something on the Macassar wood finished armrest and it fractured the lacquer finish off it.

IT looks like I have to take the whole door panel off to replace the armrest.
Has this been done and documented by my fellow Porsche-philes?

You're correct that the armrest is relaxed from the backside of the panel. I've done a couple of them, but didn't document the process. It's pretty intuitive once you have the panel off to see how it is retained and works.
