Can Anyone Confirm Armrest Fit in 2010 LB? - Toyota Yaris Forums

msmitka · 10-16-2009, 09:54 PM

I removed the felt-like disc at the bottom of the cupholder in the console, which revealed a hex screw. I removed the screw. Dropped in the armrest, but despite my best efforts, I can get that original screw (or the brass one shipped with the armrest) to reach down into the threads. It lines up OK, but it seems I'll need to dig around for a longer screw.

UPDATE: For the 2010 3 DR LB, I had to pick up an M6-1.00 X 30 Hex Cap Screw (Pack of 4 at Lowe's - Hillman P/N #880657).
That reached fine, and did a good job of securing it. Nice!

i have an '07 liftback, got the same arm rest from micro image and although i love the fit, the original screw nor the one provided will reach far enough to lock it down...i too am now planning a trip to the hardware store in order to get a bit longer screw...

on a side note, it actually fits quite snug even without screwing it down so, i've been considering just letting it sit there for easy removal if i ever wanted to...

Can someone post some good photos from back/front of this arm rest in place etc so that I can have a clear picture how this look before buying one from microimageonline for my Vitz 2006? I am more interested about the look how it goes between the seats..!!!
