My Center Arm Rest Keeps Slipping

Post by s4-99 » Mon Nov 03, 2008 10:21 pm

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?
Hmmm, its fast but is it fast enough!!!

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

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

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....
