Centre Armrest
« on: 04 September 2008, 22:56 »
Should the centre armrest lock into position when pushed right back?

If I slide mine all the way forward it clicks into position and I would have expected the same when sliding it all the way back.

Thanks,
Clive

Mine doesn't that I've noticed. If I lightly "drag" my arm on the armrest it will slide forwards.

Cheers, thought mine might be broken.  It's a bit annoying as it slides quite easily, when reaching for the gear leaver etc.  And when its all the way forward it blocks the handbrake lever.

Maybe i'm just being picky though :)

Yeah it is a little annoying. But I think it's general usefulness and comfortableness (is that a word?) makes up for it!!  :smiley:

Despite having it, I haven't really used it much, even on motorway driving.

Nice to have the option on a long run for both left and right elbows. Sometimes find the right door rest too low and the upper too high. Hey ho :undecided:

Mine doesnt click in, and yeh the handbrake thing can be annoying; but i'm so glad i've got it now. I went for a drive in my old car today which doesnt have one and i kept going to lean but just falling sideways. I love my armrest!
