Get a whole new door panel lol I know it sucks
It is NOT necessary to get a whole new door panel, but replacing the armrest is recommended over repair. If you remove the door panel you will see that the armrest is attached to the door panel by several 8mm screws from behind. Check "Hemmings Motor News" for vendors.
You have to pull the door panel off!. Then on the inside of the door panel you will see the 4 screw holding the arm rest on.
place a flat head screw driver between the wiper arm and the old blade and pry apart...
Under hood, top left corner under wiper arm. Two plastic clips hold compartment lid.
Using the seat back tilt lever lower the seat back as far as it will go. Sit in the back seat. Place your arm around the head rest and pull hard. The headrest can only be removed in this position. Works for driver and passenger front seats.
crawl under the front of the car . Right behind the center of the bumpre using your arm or a tool, manually relase the hood latch
Disconnect batt Remove wires from back Loosen bolt on arm to release belt tension Remove all bolts Reverse to install You will have to use a pry bar to pull alt while you tighten belt on arm to keep it taut.
If you are talking about the arm rest lid, you have to remove the screws at the hinge. If you are talking about the base, it is part of the console and requires more work.
The module is situated in the arm rest where you store stuff unscrew it and you will find the module.
if you run your hand from the foot pedal up the brake arm you will feel a little latch on the right side of it... pull that forward
Arm, (Arm rest) Leg, (Leg rest)
I had issues with the arm rest coming loose and wobbling and I ended up removing the driver side arm rest and the passenger side arm rest and swapping the two. To remove the arm rest, peel back the velcro at the base of the arm rest, peeling back the cover and revealing the bolt. Then, simply loosen the bolt using a Torx bit size T60 I believe, and that should remove the arm rest.
