Right bare with me on this as its a lttle completed, 1st I cut off the plastic base the arm rest sits on . basically the arm rest sits down on that angled piece of plastic the top plate of the empty box that you screw down.
Next you take the angled piece of plastic and put it under the top screw down plate to aid keeping the arm frommoving around to much....still with me!!! Next the plastic angled piece which is now under the plate movesaround as you move the arm, to provent it moving around I got a thick thick piece of round cardboard tube cur it to 130mm long and cut out the shape of the angled cut off plastic.
This tube acts as a stabiliser to stop the arm bit moving around in the box, I tie wrapped the ally arm and plastic to the tube then incase it in duck tape, then pushed it down into the empty hole that the ally arm would sit in and screwed the lid on...hey presto the arm tilts up & down but doesnt move around other than up&down..
Its fiddly and takes sometime to do. on mine everthings hidden and it just looks factory done...believe me I spent hours figuring it out before I did it....phew is that clear as mud...
I will start looking at this tomorrow. Appreciate the guide.
May have a few questions when I get started though.
I live in huddersfield so nearly on the moors and find this a lot. Some times it feels like your not going anywhere with how windy it gets. Lol.

It's the first car I've had where the wipers park vertically rather than horizontally and they just seemed to lift off the screen really easy when the high winds got hold of them, I was genuinely worried they were going to end up breaking.
On a more sore note my wind deflectors arrived today through the postbox with a delivery note stating arrived to us in this condition, i got them 2nd hand off ebay basically the ends the bit that goes down by the wing mirtirs were snapped in half..
So i've now had to order brand new ones so in total have spent £52.00 on £32.00 wind deflectors!!
The seller is being a w__ker & saying all ok went i sent them, im proper pi__ed over it i've always refunded when items i've sent have been faulty, hes refusing point blank so im opening an ebay case which no doubt i'll lose..
anyway rant over...
