My armrest falls down randomly, sometimes it stays up sometimes it doesn't. Been told by the dealer that I need a $420 replacement armrest + labor, but I:

1. Don't really believe them
2. Don't want to pay that much

Have searched the forums here and elsewhere. Found a lot on armrest stuck up but not falling down. Anyone w/ similar problem? Is there a cheap fix? If not, anyplace other than dealer I could get a new one? Thanks in advance.

I'd check local junkyard first for a used one

Try Dads or Shokan.

same problem here. don't think there is any fix (i.e. thought all of them did it).
