    Ive managed to break the little plastic hinge thingy's that hold the catch for my armrest cover. Now the plastic lever/catch has come off completely!
    It looks like there is no way to take the top section off to replace the hinges
    Is it possible to get this fixed or do i need to buy a whole new armrest?
    Regards Heathy

    I can't tell if it's the front catch or the back hinges you broke as you reference both, however, if it is the hinge here is a fix. You need to get liquid weld - it's at places like home depot in the glue section. It come in 2 tubes-one is the epoxy the other is the hardener. With the armrest lid off, mix the epoxy and apply to both broken areas of the plastic hinge. Within a minute or two it will be dry enoungh to release you hold. Let it dry for 12 hours and it will never break in that spot again. This is the only bond I found that works.
