So the arm rests wire kind of clips in there? You don't have to loosen those wierd bolts holding the seat brackets down? I was going to put the new light in my shidter today but I didn't make it passed the arm rest, hence my search for an install procedure.

Violin, can you help me on this part too. I think I'll be alright once I get passed the arm rest.

Hi All,
I bought a oem yaris armrest from ebay and they sent the armrest assembly+base only. Without wire clip as your picture.
Could you please tell me where to find the wire clip or do you know another way to install it?
Some pictures attached to make it clear for you:

Some pictures attached to make it clear for you:
You're missing a large U shaped wire that goes over the cup holder insert and clipped underneath the seat rail, then the arm rest is screwed down. I don't think the wire is sold separately. You could fabricate one with a wire coat hanger.

The one I sell has a hole in the bottom which matches a bolt you'll find at the bottom of the cup holder. It also includes a couple of screws (which I don't use) to screw in the console from the sides.

But really, the bottom bolt alone is very secure.

The car has a black interior; the center console goes very nicely with that.

Love yaris world

I know these post are several years old! But I just purchased a oem armrest from forum member. Went to install this afternoon, and couldn't for the life of me figure out how the wire was used? I took out center console, then seats still no answer! Then it hit me. Look on the forum
Found the pics, and installed it in minutes
Just a note for future installers, Goes a lot easier if you loosen the rear Of the front seat rail bolts

For the life of me, I can't understand why any Yaris Liftback owner would want the OEM armrest in their Yaris. I feel the same way Why? does about it...I can't and couldn't stand it. Mine came with one, and I ripped it out right away. There were only 5 manual transmission liftbacks in the entire Northeast when I got mine, so I couldn't hold out for one without the armrest (my previous car was unsafe to drive more than a few hundred more miles re the steering rack). The last Yarisworld thread (fairly recent) on this subject included pictures and all the aftermarket choices, IMO, on that thread were all better than the OEM one. The best one displayed on that thread (IMO) was one of the choices purchased from Cali Yaris (microimageonline.com) and I'd get that one if I decided I needed more storage or a 'place of rest'.

I'm a small guy, and the position of the OEM armrest is stupid. I can't use the shifter with it down. I tore mine out almost immediately after I got mine too.

Incidentally, I still have mine for sale if anybody wants it.

Well. I can't speak for anyone else, but all my cars and my Tundra have armrest!
Don't like riding without one! That being said, I didn't quite realize the factory rest is shall we say"cheazzy" as it is
So it is what it is. For me better than nothing

Oh! Mine is an automatic, and I'm 6.2 so it's pretty close!

Please PM me the price you are asking, also color?
