My Center Arm Rest Keeps Slipping

[s4-99]

Just lately my arm rest keeps dropping down like the cogs are slipping or similar. Is there a fix for this or does it need replaceing. How easy is it to remove etc...? Anyone else had this happen?

The same happens in my sisters three month old A3 cabrio. Not sure what's causing it though.

At least your sis can get it sorted under warranty, looks like i might have to dig deep...

It was added in September 08 in case the link doesn't work as hoped (I'm not the best at it)

Nice one for the link. After looking at it i'm not sure wether to just live with it . It looks well fiddley....

As long as it doesn't drop any further it'll be bearable. Mine annoys me when using the handbrake but it's not impossible. I'll get around to it one day....
