R55 Another armrest "thing"
#26
The install was fairly easy. IT was tricky getting the cap/cover off the lid part - there are several tabs that require a small screwdriver to pry off - I broke 2 in the process but it didn't hamper the re-install. Just take your time. While the directions say gluing wasn't necessary, I did hot glu the leather to the old cover - seemed to go back together smoother that way. I don't think the cover has made any difference in cover opening inadvertantly - still does if I somehow elbow it.
I got the extra padded version 1 1/8th" and it feels so much better than stock - actually very comfortable now...

Silly me. I thought the center armrest was where my iPod was supposed to rest after being connected to the car's stereo. I would have preferred it that way, as it would have already been out of sight when I got out of the car. Now I've got to disconnect it from it's cable, and stash it away. I know. I'm lazy!
Not much room in the center armrest for storage. I supposed I could take out the little plate in there. I believe it's a false bottom, so it can be removed and replaced with a larger cradle for various-sized phones.
