fitted the armrest today but what happens with the gap left with the rear drinks holder not going back in? and also there is quite a gap between the bottom of the arm rest and the centre console is this normal? cheers for any help

and the parts i needed were 2x N90301901,2xN90328502 and 1x1J0711354 which came to £10.19

just looks like there should be a grommit or rubber spacer to fill the gap
