Yes I agree. But too late, we already have ours.

I use it very often. No squeaking. Don't worry, I am sure your car is still under warranty

Mine squeaks, I think it's coming from the hinge at the top since the bottom is nice and solid & secure.
I might try lubing it somehow if I can do it without making a mess.

A little WD40 or White Lithium Greese on the head of a Q-Tip (ear bud, etc.).

That should get to the hinge without spraying something and making a mess.

Mine doesn't squeak, but it isn't that sturdy. I'm debating on weather I should secure it better......screws in an inconspicuous spot maby.

BPT is over priced.

I can check my supplier if i can get it. right now my prices are sweet for most TRD parts.

I'd also be game for some TRD parts too...

Funny, the arm rest in the first Yaris I checked out seemed like a laughably flimsy POS.

Chaad32 · 07-22-2006, 12:20 PM

mine just started squeaking and I applied some WD40 and its gone

It seems that if you were to lean on it too hard though that it might break (if you put your whole weight into it). But for what it is I think it is a worthwhile buy.

I've been thinking about this... Do you have any pics of the end result? I'de love to see how the rest fits with the center console and rear cup holder..

i got mine dealer installed and i like it. only thing is i dont think it is adjustable, and it sits just about an inch too far back and i cannot rest my elbow on it while driving. still a good buy, passengers love it and everytime my hand comes off the wheel i use it.

Glad to hear for the most part that everyone likes the arm rest...I just ordered my hatchback with one, so I guess I'll see how it works out.

fred812 · 09-17-2006, 01:09 PM

AGREED!

I don't know why they made it an inch higher than the armrest on the door.

Let me guess. Well, may be to give more space for the operation of the hand brake
