Arm rest

I couldn't find anything in the search... But the drivers seat armrest is bent down slightly , is there a way to adjust it so it it up and more level?

No, but you can pop the button off and tighten the bolt that holds it on.

Yep, that's where my link leads to, by way of another link. Good stuff still stashed away, just need to use the right key words in the searches..

My armrest is still good as way back when I did this mod. Definitely EZ fixable.

Thanks guys, took all but 5 minutes to do, Works perfectly now. The armrest had a little wiggle but the bolt was super tight, looks to be a spring washer that worn down a bit so I flexed it a little more and installed, seemed to do the trick, I did look for an additional washer but didn't have one with a big enough center hole so just flexed it a bit and it worked.
