How to remove the armrest of an Audi A3?
Years 2012-2019

Answer

To remove the armrest located between the two front seats of the Audi A3, we must first remove the plastic cover installed underneath it. As it is anchored by a snap mechanism, we just need to pry it off with a flat object, such as an Italian screwdriver, to detach it. Once removed, we are faced with the two torx screws that hold the armrest in place. Let's remove them with the appropriate key and then detach the armrest. To reinstall it (or install a new one), we just have to repeat this same procedure but in reverse order.
