Armrest Upgrade Options

[barch88]

I would buy it if it was confirmed it would work but I wouldn't take the risk

That Trax console does look better than the ebay one, but I'd worry either would be in the way of my arm-to-shift area. Plus I use that rear cup area to hold a Power Cup. It fits perfect there and I use it with my AC chargers.



SO, for $259.00 I wouldn't want to try it personally. I'm use to being without one now. I'd be interested in what others who buy one say though.

It is open in the back so the power cup looks like would still work because this one doesn't mount into cup holder like the eBay one because it has those legs.

I think the price is way high but if it works it might be something I'd buy.

It looks better than the ebay one and it's cheaper than the other one. It's about about $100.00 USD.

I might try one of these someday.

Nice find.

Thanks.
I bought one so I'll post pics when I get it.

is there any way to produce a SECOND armrest? one for the passenger seat?

I recently drove a 2013 Chevrolet Orlando and they have the same armrest as the Sonic BUT, its got 4 different height positions. You can move it up all the way out of they way and as you drop it down it sits really low on an angle. You than lift it up a bit and clicks to a second position and you can click it 2 more times and it'll sit up higher but the length is still the same as the Sonic.

Buy a driver side armrest from one of our RHD countries and mount it to our passenger side. Sounds simple enough but I have been looking and trying for 2 years lol. I even have family and friends in the UK and they seem unable to even get me one and ship it over.....

I was driving the loaner cruze I got and I noticed they have a nice center console instead of the arm rest. Have u considered this?

based on this photo, there would have to be some e-brake relocation work and possible some molding done to make it fit. augh if I only had the time...

keep this thread going man id like to see something come of it.

Anybody make any progress? I'm in convo with someone in Australia to find me a driver side arm rest from a wrecker and ship over to retro fit. But that's all I can figure out now

Is there a place to attach it? Maybe u should get the whole seat.


If I die, bury me in my truck, because it's never been in a hole it can't get out of!

 

[gijoefontaine]

No but he's trying to take out the whole bracket and I'll put it in my seat

I believe that OUR passenger seat has the proper holes to mount THEIR driver armrest. If you feel the side of the seat where an armrest is supposed to go you can feel the dimple where the post would mount to.

If this comes to fruition let me know if he can get more!!

Unless I completely missed it earlier in this thread, I can't believe no one has mentioned the console that is already available for the Sonic. I've had this in my car since the summer of 2012:

 

[gijoefontaine]

It's been mentioned but is required to be drilled in.

 

[J T]

Not a big deal. It's permanent, so a few screw holes in the rear cup holder are negligible. If it's ever removed for any reason, those holes can be easily concealed.

I like My Arm Rest, but...i noticed it slouches down a bit. I was inside a newer sonic 2014 and tried out it's Armrest and noticed it DOESN'T slouch, but when i removed the cloth and exposed the bolt and tried to MAYBE tighten it...it was already tightened enough, so I'm not sure what else to Do.
