The armrests in my 02 D2 SE dont really go down all the way. they are slightly elevated when I put them down to what goes all the way. Does anybody have any clue as to why. Is this a normal thing in all SE's, and if not what can I do to help it. Thanks |

Do you keep the seat back tilted very far back? |

Will,
There is a knob on the front of the arm rests, just under the pad. Turn that until the rests are level and you should be in business.

Will,
It also helps if the knob is turned while the armrest is elevated. It turns easier that way.
Cheers,

Will, Mine are the same way. They go level when the seat back is straight up. If you tilt the seat back, they will eventually angle upwards too, as there is not enough adjustment to compensate for the seat back movement.
Mine get to within about 5 degrees with the seat back angle I use. However, it is apparent when compared to the passenger seat next to it. |

Here is what I did to fix this annoying problem on both driver ans pass seats.
Take off the armrest from the seat.
Pull the plastic knob out by pulling away from the rod.
Adjust the rod to its lower position and end of its travel.
Now grab a channellock pliers and turn the rod with force until a breaking noise is heard and no more resistance is felt.
You just broke off the piece that was stopping the armrest from going lower .
Shake the armrest to get the little piece out and put the plastic knob and armrest back in place.
You know have an armrest with full travel and keep you happy .
Good luck

I did just what greekrover did, but with months of hand-twisting. Such a terrific sense of accomplishment when it finally gave in! |

There is a small clip inside the armrest that is not allowing the threaded rod from turning any further.By forcing the turning of the rod you greak off the small clip so now the rod can turn some more ,also able to comletely unscrewing the rod from the rest of armrest.
