I wish someone would make and sell arm rests that were better! I would love one that is quite slim and can attach between the seats so it moves when you need to lift them up to get in the back, one that folds up between the two front seats would be ideal, so you could fold it up when you didnt want to use it, and it could have a little storage area on the rear.

I've just got one off ebay. Not sure if the price was right, but as someone said it's the best purchase they've made, it's restored my faith. I have an hour and a half drive twice most weekends so im hoping it will make me a little more comfy. Quite concerned about the seat lifting and movement issue though. I regularly have mates squishing in the back of my car.

I have one, its comfortable for my right arm, but just sits over the hand brake. It has no inner liner so it can't really act as a change holder or hold anything. Comfort wise it works though.

That Mini looks like a comfortable place to be! what are the seats and where did you get those handles?
Looks smart :lol:

Out of interest, would the armrest from the MGBGT fit? looks similar to the wooden one you show in the pictures.

Got my arm rest today. black, sits snug between the seats. It does tend to rock back and forth wen i apply pressure to it and doesn't seem to want to sit flush with the floor.

How do you guys have your arm rest situated? Is it wedged and floating between the seats, or does it sit flatly against the centre of your floor? Just not sure if there's a sturdier way of having it.

I drive an equinox which has equinox seats which may be the cause of my problem. Any suggestions?
