Wow guess I am the only one here who put mine in and got new arm rests that fixed the problem. I know they were new as the driver side was stained. I work in a somewhat dirty environment and used the arm rest and the dirt/greade from my coat sleave had stained the arm rest.

Are you absolutely sure??
As suggested here in previous threads, if you have the power seats, slight adjustments can be made that will correct the downward tilt of the armrest. However to me, that was not a solution. It provided an uncomfortable bottom angle. Then after adjusting the seat back, backward, to accomodate the previous adjustment, I found myself driving like a "low rider". That, again for me, was not posture correct. So, I simply removed the arm rest an used a little screw, properly located.
I mean, if the dealer did replace your arm rests and did no work order, how do you think they will get paid by GM. They obviously didn't do it for free.

When the dealer had mine in for the armrests they happily ordered them. After several trips, waiting for right parts...all was well. They said they ended up creating a stop point as the armrest just went down too far. Would venture to guess they did the same fix as many others...added a screw in the little groove to keep it from leaning down.
Your story goes to show that sometimes the chiefs don't know what the indians are doing.

You got that !!
Sometimes the indians know better then the chiefs. I'm sure the mechanic
looked at the WO & took a minute or three & fixed it. He knew he would get some BS about it . It makes me feel good that some still have pride in their work & I'm sure he does.
