How do you install a driver's seat armrest in a Chevy Tahoe?

Answer 1

The way to remove the armrest is as follows:1. Lean seat forward

2. At the back/bottom of the seat undo the plastic "J" hook (it runs the length of the seat).

3. Push the front side of the leather under the back of seat so you can reach it from the front.

4. Gently pull the leather up around the armrest.

5. Reach up under fabric (on the front side), push the foam aside and remove the horseshoe shaped clip with a screwdriver (fish out of seat with magnet if you drop it) and pull armrest straight out.

Hope this helps (10 min project, and .00 to fix armrest)

Comment To Above AnswerThe directions above are perfect. This saved me like a lot of money from dealership labor costs to do the job. Just watch out for some sharp parts inside the seat. I cut my hand like 5 times from the sharp edges and the horseshoe shaped clip inside. If you drop the clip (like I did), don't worry......it should fall to the floor under the seat. Get a flashlight ready.
