V40: - V 40 ARM REST gone floppy

audio · Dec 11th, 2013, 17:56

Anyone got a solution for an arm rest that flops down !

There is a spring/clip that apparently locks onto a rachet
If this clip breaks the arm rest flops down towards the drinks holder

1) How does one get into the mechanisn ? Entire seat removal?
2) Any other fixes? There is a bar that goes into the seat back with a slit that the clip would appear to go into but how to fit this inside the seat

Thanks for any advice

You have an arm rest???? Is that a club as well?

Some of the P1's had them built onto the side of the seat

Thanks TONY yes "Some of the P1's had them built onto the side of the seat"

Exactly that

So do I need to take apart the back of the drivers seat?

There is a tube in the side of the seat back rest and into this fits a rod from the arm rest. I wonder if I glue it in place would it stay locked? Other than that it looks a complex task to remove the leather from the seat back
