Wanted genuine armrest???

[crigisback]

Hi all I am looking for a genuine mk2 Leon armrest
Anyone know of any for sale. Or can point me in the right direction

Now I am aware there is no direct for sale section and I am not sure if this wanted post is allowed but if not I am sure the moderators will delete it .


Thanks

Dave @ Sere motors can do you a deal on a new armrest,iirc think its about £149 delivered

Yeah good shout I have had a few bits off of him before.

Don't fancy paying that sort of money though . Maybe search for a used one

The thing is when they are fitted to the car i'm pretty sure you need to drill a hole into the centre console. Thus a used one wouldn't sold on unless the car is being broken or if it hasn't been fitted to the car.

They are tiny little screw holes, i removed mine from my FR TDI and fitted to my LCR

There's plenty of them out there, they come up on ebay quite alot

 

[crigisback]

I will have to keep my eye out on eBay for one

Wouldnt say that the screws are 'tiny' would leave a noticeable few holes when removed. I looked on ebay for a couple of months didnt see any and ended up buying one of dave @ sere.

That's good to know, I just looked at the fitting instructions someone posted on here and it mentioned that some drilling was required.

You dont need to screw it in, I used outdoor adhesive sticky pads to stick it down. So if I come to sell the car I can take the armrest out and sell it too lol!

I used double sided tape on mine. Didn't want to drill any hole in the centre console.

Worked a treat, aslong as you don't bash it sideways (I did once by accident) then it won't come off. Your only putting pressure downwards when resting your arm

Oh and I got lucky and found one on eBay but in hindsight, would have been worth every penny if I bought brand new!

 

[Matthew FR]

^^^ Pretty much the same only mine will put a fight when trying to get it off lol

ive got an arm rest, its not a genuine Leon one, its for an Altega/Altega XL but does fit in the Leon,

I used velcro to stick it down but bear in mind there wont be holes for the cup holders.

This fit a 2010 leon fr

 

[tom-1902]

Yes i wanted one untill i realised id loose two cup holders and to be honest im a fan of all 3 cup hokders

 

[bevanoli]

it didnt bother me to be fair, i do 35k per year and i just used one at a time..

arm rest makes a massive difference to the comfort of driving

 

[tom-1902]

Ah fair enough if you do those miles but i cant fit my large maccies drink in the front one!! lol

 

[crigisback]

As above I would need the cup holders, thirsty work driving all day

 

[Matthew FR]

You dont loose the cup holders, you can open the armrest and use them.

 

[TarekElsakka]

If only it wasn't so expensive at the dealership, I would have purchased it the day I got the car. Are there any other VAG cars, for instance, where the arm rest fits the Leon? Like maybe a Jetta, Passat, etc.

You do with the altea one because there is no cut out inside it

 

[Matthew FR]

I took some pictures to show.
Ohh and I wouldnt know about the Altea armrest, I just bought the normal one for the leon.......
