Important quantity information

This listing is for one rear-left door armrest.

One rear-left armrest is required per vehicle. The corresponding rear-right armrest is a separate component and is not included.

Installation recommendation

Before installation:

• Compare the armrest with the original component
• Confirm that the colour matches the vehicle interior
• Inspect the mounting points and internal structure
• Clean the surface using a product suitable for older vinyl interior trim
• Remove loose foam or adhesive residue where necessary
• Check the condition of the door panel and mounting hardware
• Use the correct original-style mounting hardware
• Avoid overtightening the mounting hardware

Careful installation is recommended because older interior plastics, door panels and mounting points may have become brittle.
