Wobbly armrest


B Feddish
 

My driver's side armrest was mysteriously broken when I got it back from my
mechanic. It's pretty wobbly. Does anyone know off-hand what I need to fix?



Thanks,

Bryan

EVC or not?

There is a cast metal lug on the EVC front seats with a steel tab that is supposed to position the arm. The steel part is held on by swedging the cast metal and it often breaks. I fixed mine by epoxy gluing the tabs back into position, then screwing the hex socket screw in tightly. They have held up for a few months now...

You can find the screw and tab by pulling out the plastic cover at the pivot point.

I don't know if non-EVCs have similar armrests.

What year? On my 2002 GLS, I take off the end cap and tighten with a
hex/allen bit - all done!

Wobbly (left right movement) would probably just be a loose bolt. If
it drops down its prob. broken as mentioned in prev. reply.
To fix loose screw, take plastic cap off, use long #6(?)Allen wrench
and tighten.
If broken, there are some suggested fixes out there, not sure off hand
if one is in the files.

I also need to tighten my driver and passenger inside armrests
periodically. Use a longer allen wrench to access the bolt.

I removed the armrests a couple days ago so that I can pass through
to get to my son's car seat mounted on the back seat.
