Hi the leather on my center arm rest of my 2000 a4 1.8t quattro is falling off I want to remove the armrest to repair it but have no idea how. My car is in Mint condition other then this extremely annoying eye sore plz help. By the way, just got a carbon fiber dash trim kit, and it looks fantastic I highly recommend others try it.

 

if you look at the rod that goes into the side of the seat it should have a grub screw/allen bolt

 

How do you mean, exactly where is this locted. I notice that if I pull out the ashtray in the back there are some bolts there but after undoing them they dont allow me to remove the arm rest. I popped of the plastic caps on the side of the hing and had no idea what to do there. Can you please be a bit mor specific.

Thanks for helping

 

so your talking the rear arm rest??? is so you might need to remove the rear covering to get at the bolts

 

my appols I am a little confused, is it a fixed center rest?? does it connect into the seat or is it the rear rest

 

no the center arm rest. The big black thing in between the two fron seats that my elbow sits on whil Im driving. NOT the arm rest that pulls out of the back seats

 

The one that sits right above the 2 useless cup holders, I cannnot for the life of me figure this out, I am just hoping that it is not really eas and Im gonna feel like an azz when I find out how ha ha

 

is it a lift rest like the one in the picture?? if not the complete center console has to be removed
