first remove your arm rest lid from the car, you do this by squeezing together the two arms that connect the lid to the base and pry it free.
then you need to separate the leather top from the plastic underneath. i used an old butter knife slid between the leather and the plastic to unhook the clips at each side, there is also two spots of glue holding the leather section on but these came away quite easily with a bit of a pull. you only need to undo the first clip at each side of the front edge to give you enough room to fit the new clip.
then refit your lid to your base, job done!.
if you have lost your metal spring bar order this version which has a built in plastic hook - http://www.shapeways.com/model/999977/a ... Box-search
