Installed mine today, and like others the frame under the hinge was slightly bowed. I didn't notice at first, and thought one of the screw heads was hitting, holding it up. I ended up taking the pad off and fitting it that way, when I remembered the issue some were having. When I put a straight edge up to it, you could see a slight bow. When I pressed/bent it near the hinges, I didn't hear a "pop" or "snap", but instead felt it move as the hinge pin slid into place. Rechecking with the straight edge, and it was perfectly flat.

The biggest flaw I see with this arm rest, is that it looks so factory like, no one will know or believe I installed it.

fyi, that's a piece of toolbox drawer liner in the bottom, it keeps things from sliding around.

Anyone know if the armrest is covered in real leather, or fake? curious for cleaning and care.

anyone want to buy this for $50.00? its 4 days old.....message me if u do.

Anyone that's taken their armrest apart to install it, now have a squeak when it opens/closes? The vinyl is now rubbing on the lower plastic trim ring, by the hinge. The only thing i can figure is, when I reassembled it I got the top seated farther down, reducing the clearance. I loosened the screws toward the hinge side tonight, and pulled the cover up a bit, and that helped, until you drive with your arm on it, and push it back down.

May look into some thin washers to space it up a tiny bit.

My squeaks too but it compliments the crickets quite well!

I read somewhere that a little wd-40 helps, will try this weekend when I detail her (if the rain stops).

For anyone that wants one of these and wants it quickly, Nigel JDM seems to be the way to go right now. I ordered mine Wednesday, it shipped Thursday, and tracking information says it'll be here tomorrow.
