  • In this video, I’m installing an arm rest that I bought from AliExpress about 18 months ago. I haven’t got a link or anything like that, but I’m sure they’d still be available.
    I decided to finally get round to installing this because I’m going on the City Bug Club UK Rally soon and I thought it might add a level of comfort for the drive. The design of the arm rest is so that it sits into the rear cup holder, behind the handbrake. It’s a simple install that I have once again needlessly complicated. It appears as though it has been designed to be a friction fit, but that’s not good enough for me! I decided to use two-part epoxy glue to stick it into the rear cup holder and then two screws on top of that, just in case. I removed the handbrake trim panel to install the arm rest outside of the car to make it easier for me. I did find that the passenger side bolt was difficult to assess on re-installation, but some imaginative use of ratchet extension bars and a power ratchet seems to have won the day.
    There are some fitment issues when trying to use the handbrake, but I can live with that because if I’m using the handbrake, I’m stopped and it doesn’t cause me an issue personally. Your opinion may differ, but it’s a useful little piece of kit. Its comfortable, provides additional storage and if I were to wire it up (which I’m not), it provides USB power sources to the front and rear passengers too.
