Does anyone know if the armrest on the door panel is removable? I am replacing one of my interior door panels and want to reuse the armrest but am not sure if it just unbolts from the panel? Anyone have any hands on experience? I watched the video on the panel removal but it doesn't mention the armrest. TIA

They are either held on with screws or are plastic welded. I replaced the upholstery on the Boss Lady’s Jeep and they were screwed on but the instructions say they might be plastic welded. If they are welded you can carefully drill the weld off and reattach with short screws.

I just dont want to reduce the integrity of the strength of the armrest. I tried to look up the panel itself to see if it comes with the armrest attached but cant find the part number.

Here’s a screen shot from the Unofficial Use Only install video. That one is held on with screws too.

If you ordered a new one it should have the armrest on it. I haven’t had any issues after I changed the armrest upholstery

Yes, it is removeable and is pretty easy to do so...just a handful of screws once you get the door panel off. I replaced the armrest on my 2018 JLR some years ago, and later posted some pics and info about the armrest since I couldn't find much info beforehand:
