here are the instructions i used and not much to add but a couple of hick ups lol



part# arm100 from rockauto.com





removed the old pin and trash the old composite unit



one of two issues i did have was the bolts where not long enough to reach the nylon threads but a easy fix with some 1/2 inch longer bolts i had laying around

2nd issue was the back needed a few light taps with a hammer to form up to the armrest again no big deal



a couple of screws and installed







unit is as solid and tight as can be and only took a 1/2 hour to do

thanks to Fx4wannabe01 and dadstruck off rps for helping me find this thing

one more note is i ordered this thing Friday and was waiting for me on Monday cant argue fast shipping
You can find fixes on Ebay too, but the ones that have been seen have the latch that secures the armrest in the down position. The fix quoted in the thread above has no latch so it will move up and down with ease.

If you need more info, please PM me as I can help you with this as I have installed the fix listed in the thread.
