I would really love to know what justifies this much of a price increase!?

Supply and demand. Simple economics.

I think that's what the original price was, then there was a group buy for the months of december/january as per one of his threads.

I agree it is pricey, and I would much rather that same design but slide backwards instead of annoying my passenger.

I took the top off, when I installed mine.

Adjust the passenger seat and seatback all the way forward, hold the base of the arm rest in place, and the top can be pushed past 90º. This gives you enough room to drop the screws in place and tighten them. The top does not need to be removed.

Not supply or demand. Is because the cost is higher, we don't make more money with the price increase.


Btw, arm rest is now back in stock.
