if it uses those wellnuts, those are less than useless. my armrest included, i've never had an install with those that a bored toddler couldn't pull them out..

and i drilled my armrest wellnut holes 1-size smaller and forced the nuts in to try to provide some amount of friction-fit.


my suggestion? get better mounting hardware, but next time, it'll take the entire bumper off...
