Armrest
Posted by Ari Kahan (more from Ari Kahan) on Thu, 27 Jan 2000 16:04:48
It takes about 45 seconds to install the armrest. Maybe
a couple minutes if you do a really careful job.
(The dealer probably bills an hour...)
It attaches with screws. It's easiest if you take
the existing cupholder cover off (by carefully pulling
the hinges in back outwards to release them from the pins).
Take the cupholder cover inside the house and put it on your
kitchen table. Position the armrest on top of it (making
sure not to position it backwards; look at the picture in
the accessory catalog -- it's easy to put it on backwards
if you're not thinking about it), and turn the whole
assembly upside down (so the armrest
is under the cupholder cover.) Then, screw in
the screws (supplied with the armrest as part
of the kit -- they get screwed into the circular indentation
in the bottom of the cupholder cover, and run up into
the bottom of the armrest, securing it to the
cupholder cover -- it's helpful to have
a drill to start the holes in the cupholder cover).
They even give you a little felt stick-on that covers the screwheads
so that you don't see the unsightly screwheads when you open the
cupholder. Then, just snap the cupholder cover back
into place in the car.
And, no, the armrest does NOT get in the way of shifting; if
anything, it's probably too far rearward (unless you have
very long legs and position your seat to the most rearward
of its track.)
A very very easy job. Just DON'T put it on backwards.
