I've just fitted my armster and th, im not that impressed. When resting my arm on it it bounces up and down. Its matched up with the centre consol perfectly.

It seems to have a hing that allows it to move about, is this thesame on everyone elses?

I've had an Armster in mine since June last year (PV show) and no problems with it, and that's with 3 young kids that have sat, kicked and swung on it too - it's rock solid and very useful.

Nope but then because I have my seat at the highest setting I have the little adjuster thingy underneath it set to full height too, maybe that makes a difference?

Also I fitted it myself and made sure it was well attached...

Mine seems to be ok, yeah a wee bit flimsy but it doesnt bounce up and down when in use, I'd say the weight of my arm holds it quite still. My Dad is heavy on it, he really leans on it and sometimes I think he'll break it but other wise its had 2 months of constant use and still not borken.

I bought an armster thinking that it would match the interior colour and be a good durable armrest that folds up out of the way if not needed

3 things that the advert said it would do and the results were
no,,,,,,,,,,no and...........no

sent it back, what a load of rubbish

Had one of these type of armrests on my last car. Fitted it with the fixings provided, but also glued it. It was slightly wobbly but lasted the 2 years i had it....
