Ebony lower cover #25872638

Gray lower cover #25872640

mine was listed as red. I'm sure that whatever accent color you have in your interior is how it is listed.

here is a pic from drivers seat.

I ordered the parts to add a armrest to the passenger side yesterday.
My total with a "VIP" 10% discount came to $222.
Thanks to Jookster126's list the dealer was able to order it easily.... Without the list they would have struggled.

P.S. Any idea of how to get the current solid cover off?

start with the back knob or handle, dont do like me ripping it off and breaking it, there is a release tab on the back side of that handle. then on the back of the seat there is a a phillips screw, you will have to lift up the corner of the seat cover to see it. there is one more phillips screw near the front area too. i just reclined the seat and wiggled the lower cover to get the front screw out. when you get the new cove you will see the screw holes in the cover and it will make more sense about the locations. i can post some pics to help you if you want, let me know.

If you have any, they would be appriciated, I couldn't find the release tab on the knob... Are you talking about the lever that allows you to tilt the seat forward? Once I get that out/off, the screw may be easier to figure out?

I must say the arm rests are very stiff and difficult to move up or down. I guess they will loosen up over time. Right now I leave the passenger side down but put mine up so that I have more room to lean my right arm on the passenger arm rest.

I am having a problem as the passenger side arm rest does not fit on the bracket,the slotted u shaped groove is not lining up with the bracket,as in 180 degrees off. The dealer ordered another arm rest and it came in and looks identical. Does anyone have a picture of the correct passenger side and drivers side armrest,the side with the groove showing? That would definetly help tell me if it is the right bracket or armrest.

this is the knob on the other side of my seat for reference only, youll need to remove ONLY the knob on the left side of the seat. you need to pull on it VERY SLIGHTLY. just enough to get a small flat screw driver behind it. the small tab will be on the right side of the bracket that its clipped on to. sorry for the low quality pics, its from my cell phone.



here is a few more pics of my broken knob. you can see the little tab im talking about.





next you will need to pull this cover back like im doing in this pic, there is a phillips screw you need to remove there.




the screw you took out in the last pic was for this lower cover, it gives you some wiggle room to move the lower cover around so you can get to the next screw, the lower cover also snaps to another part on the seat so be careful. i took it all the way off but you just need a little room, just push it down out of the way.(put the hand brake down to give you more room.)



the next screw you need to take out will be in the front lower area of the upper cover, in this pic you can see where it will be.(see the little hole on the left lower corner)



and last here is what i have so far. just waiting for arm rest and back knob.
