first question - storage arm rest

[PhillyMatt]

Our new to us element came with the large storage arm rest. My wife wants it removed. I looked for info but could not find it. That's actually how I found this forum.

I was able to remove the actual arm rest but am left with the metal connector. It looks like it's welded on?

Can I remove this and install a standard arm rest?

Thanks!

Looks like the storage armrest from Honda. Not sure how you removed it to just the bar but on my install and in your photo there is plastic button on the forward side of what your working on that should release that whole bar so you can remove the storage armrest as a whole. Then behind that you get access to the two screws or bolts that hold it in place. Again the plastic button is about an inch wide on the plastic ring that meets the seat fabric. One of the screws is behind that button. Just push it all the way in and it should pop out so you can see the screw. What you have is way better than the original armrest but to each there own. That one is selling for $110 right now I would at least post and sell it here. Good Luck and welcome to the club.

Here is the PDF install on the armrest. 2003-2006
