How many of you out there have a armrest not going down?
How many are DIY who want to fix the problem? Of those how many have the DVD shop manual?
Bentley told me it was to expensive live with it.
Just fixed my 2005 gt in1 hour with no special tools other than the DVD from flying Spares , it was a walk in the park.

 

Mine did the same thing the other day, i was too mad.

 

Armrests look identical to the ones inside my Audi A8 (except for what's in them). Maybe parts are interchangeable.

 

Most likely nothings broken.

pix brass detent shows it inserted into the plastic collar, the hole goes all the way threw see pix back side. so what i did because the plastic rides right against the metal, so I pushed the brass flush to the front and filled the back so it could not push away from the ratcheting parts.

 

Thanks gliozzi for the explanation.

On mine the passenger side armrest sometimes does not go back down all the way but i just bring it back up and down and it reverts back to the down position all the way.

 

G L about a year ago mine started like yours untill it got stuck in the open postion. Unfortanitly it will not fix itself. Bob

 

Well now I have the fix once my current issue evolves!
