Title: Centre armrest on a 3dr?
Post by: p9ul on 07 April 2014, 20:19
We use our Mk4 TDI as a mile muncher on long trips down the country to see family (Lake District to Oxford typically) although I have been known to go and book holiday flights from Gatwick giving me a 700mile round trip!  :laugh:

One thing I wish I had is a centre armrest - now I don't know if I'm missing one for a reason (ie so the seats can be tilted forward) or can I get one off ebay? (and will my seats still tilt forward?)

 :smiley:

Quite a few on e-bay and you will need all the brackets etc to fit it also

Had one in my previous mk4 3door.. Does not effect seats tilting at all. I believe it was a optional extra. I never used mine after i choped down the gear stick :lipsrsealed:

I hated mine in the end, it was always in the way when it was down when changing gear
