Arm Rest - Toyota Yaris Forums

Big1Dave · 09-10-2007, 08:57 AM

OK ... I've had my LB exactly (2) days and realize that I miss my arm rest on my last vehicle. I think I have seen that there are (2) different arm rests available, one with storage and one without. The one without is available from Toyota ... but I seem to remember that someone commented that this one "is a piece of crap", as the auther said ... LOL. Can anyone offer any insight into these arm rests and how hard are they to install.

Thanks in advance.

If you are really that picky with your armrest, there are 3 options really. The NADM OEM, the JDM OEM, and an aftermarket ebay one. Look into that.

I like mine. It's kinda flimsy feeling, but it does work and has not broken. I've had mine about a year. 17K miles.

I have the Toyota one.

if you have a manual, i head you dont want to get one.. which sucks.

i end up putting my hand on the passenger seat which in turn turns on the weight sensor then it starts beeping

Arm rests have been discussed several times in other threads. Look at the thread called "arm rest review", or one called "where to get arm rest". I have the after market one from arm rest king and like it a lot; it has storage and was simple to install.

get aftermarket, photo 3, it is perfect and has storage, wouldn't be in the way for shifting, I didn't even bolt mine in I can just pull it out if I want

Just get a $5.99 pillow from WalMart, and stuff in between the seats. OK, I guess that would be kinda ghetto.

I have the Yaris Sedan, and I just use the storage unit between the seats to rest my arm...it's not the most comfortable thing around, but it works non the less

YarisTom73 · 09-11-2007, 04:13 PM

Same here, the height isn't too bad, if you ride with the seat fully lowered like I do
