Sounds like someone like me must have designed the armrest, 'cause mine sit even with each other. I am 6' 2 and I 'lean back' when I drive, it is what is comfortable for me, it has always been a joke to those who ride with me. I just feel sorry for those that have to sit BEHIND me!

 

Well...good news and bad news.

The dealership called and "Smoke" is ready to be picked up.

Bad news is...they were shipped 2 passenger side armrests and no drivers side. So...they are ordering the right part and I'll have to go back next week and have them put it on when it comes in. Guy said it would only take 15 minutes when it does come in though and I can wait for it.

I've got some before pictures of the armrests and will upload them when I get home. Poor guy felt really bad about the parts...told him to save it and use it on the next one.

 

JX3...here's a look at the armrests as they are now...one from each side.

The dealer was really apologetic about the proper part not being there. They said the drivers side one definitely wasn't right and I would see a definite improvement. I keep my seat in a pretty upright position and as you can see by the picture, it's definitely pointing in a southerly direction.

I haven't turned the air on yet to check it out, but will before I take it back next week when the parts come in. Supposed to get anywhere from 4-12" of snow tonight and tomorrow and then it's supposed to be in the 60's on Saturday. Go figure....gotta love the Colorado weather.

 

Deb, that looks exactly like what mine is like (drivers side).

I keep my seat pretty much upright due to arthritis and back problems. Currently the arm rest is useless for me.

I'll probably take Spyro in next week to get 4 TSBs addressed, the arm rests being one of them.

 

I got my new arm rest tuesday, it does help but the mechanic is gonna be cleaning up his mess off the armrests and the seats.. Yes the new rests are better.

 

Question about the armrests... I've seen a few pictures now where the drivers side slopes way down but all the pictures seem to have been from vehicles with cloth seats. Anyone with leather have this sort of problem? I know the TSB covered all seats but it seems like the cloth ones are really bad.

 

Update...got a call from the dealer that the new part was in so I stopped by after work to have them install it. Well...lo and behold, it isn't any better...in fact the guy thinks it's worse than before with the new part. The Service Advisor said he was going to call GM and see what could be done about it. He said that he would call me when he got an answer from them in the next day or two. He said since it wasn't that way when I got the car, they would make it right, even if it meant putting in a new seat.

 

Thats kool, but I am sure still a headache! Good luck!

 

I've got leather seats & yes it has this problem. I'll call the dealer soon.

Sounds like you have a great dealer. Glad they are willing to work with you and get the problem fixed.
