If you install it by taking it apart, i doubt it will do it. I think they left the two hinge side screws out. give me 5 mins and ill post up. mines been installed for weeks now.

I think almost everyone on that board is having the same issue. The first picture I posted seems to be on the extreme side. If taking it apart fixes the problem, maybe someone should inform those guys.

Awesome. Looks like the way to install would be to disassemble it then.
Actually not too sure about that. It seems this member did the same as you but still had flexing. Quote:

Just ordered mine today, direct from CTP to Canada. The group buy wouldn't have saved me anything so I just waited a little for things to calm down and see some install pics.
Thanks @jpit for bringing this to our attention!! |

For those of you wanting black screws...
Take a trip to your nearest Lowe's or Home Depot and pay $6 for black Plasti Dip. Clean off the screws with water and rubbing alcohol, then dry. Take a small paint brush and spray a little of plasti dip onto the paint brush. Then paint over each screw carefully to not get too much plasti dip on the armrest itself. Let the coat dry for 20 minutes. Put about 3/4 more coats on with 20-30 minutes of dry time between each coat. Done. |

It seems so. I don't have the armrest yet but I hope it's not too hard to fix. |

You could take the nuts and bolts to an ace hardware to find the right thread pitch. Probably would be best with black Allen key bolts.
