Retrofit front armrest into S model

**master220** · 24-04-2009,02:08 PM

Does anyone know if its possible to buy & retrofit a front armrest into a 2006 Passat estate S model?
I really miss having the armrest as the S model just has a storage compartment instead.
I would really want to fit a genuine VW armrest as I know there are some after market options.

Any Help or advice appreciated

Have you bought an armrest yet? If so what is it like as I have the same issue.

didn't bother in the end, didn't like the after market options, and original retrofit seems like a lot of work. Had the car for 6 months now and got used to life without one. Let me know if you do come up with anything though.

I bought a retrofit armrest and have to say that I find it really good. Makes a lot of difference to comfort. Also looks the part - nearly as if it was always there.
