I ended up buy a fake leather skin from Amazon. Not the best and you'd have to really heat and stretch the material and staple it as the previous OEM skin was done. Is it worth the 20 buck NO I'd rather find a junk yard find or EBay part out from somewhere it doesn't match the OEM leather of the interior at all

You might check the auto recyclers that take in wrecked cars and sell parts off them. There are several in Rancho Cordova CA for example. They might have a good used one. I would also be tempted to talk to an expert about repairing the one on post 1.

I'd love to find a online junk yard that has an updated inventory day to day, or a person on a golf cart fetching pictures and parts for buyers virtually on a app zoom or FaceTime pictures ain't enough in these times I need video confirmation

Since that is where you rest your arm, that is from your sweat damaging the leather.
Your sweat leaches the oils out of the leather so it dries and cracks. That is not wear, just neglect :-)
Clean the leather regularly with a leather cleaner and conditioner and it won't dry out and crack/split like that.
Of course, that won't help once the leather has split. :-(
