Title: Armrest Lid
Post by: danfalcon on September 04, 2012, 07:44:53 pm

Ok guys, i think i am being a bit  :rolleye: but here is my problem

i have just purchased a new lid for my front centre armrest, but i can't figure out for the life of my how to remove the old one

i can't see any immediately obvious screws/clips and don't really want to prise things open when they should stay still

any pointers would be greatly appreciated  :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

I believe you first unclip the thin plastic trim cover from the underside of the lid - it simply pops off. This will reveal a couple of screws which once removed allows the lid to be replaced by your bright, shiny new armrest cover.
Hope this helps.
