RodV.

Anyone know how to adjust the armrest angle? Mine droops rather embarrassingly.

Re: RodV.

It's not adjustable, as far as I know, it's either up out of the way or down.
It shouldn't droop though. Sounds like it might have had a knock or been leaned on too heavily.

Thanks Rich. Had a closer look today. The spigot is welded to the seat frame and the bush in the armrest is glued into the plastic moulding so there's no potential for adjustment either part. My guess is that the bush has been fitted a couple of degrees out. I'll see about a replacement armrest after cross-referencing it against another one.
Cheers, Rod.

Re: RodV.

I took my armrest off because I don't use it and it annoyed the other half. It just pops off if you yank it, but if it gets knocked it can come unseated and droop all the time. Perhaps yours just needs pushing back on?

Having had a good look I'm sure that it's just a case of the bush in the arm being a few degrees off during moulding process.
You should be able to tension the retaining spring, which acts as a circlip, so as your arm doesn't fall off.
After four years with a 1.9 Doblo "car" I've found I really like the armrest and miss it when it's not there. I find it supports my left arm and and keeps it "on- site", ready for rapid gear changes.
