How to Replace the Armrest Mechanism of the Front Seat in a Xsara Picasso

Model: Citroen Xsara Picasso MK 1 - Years 1999-2012
Part: Seat

This video shows that the armrest of the front seat in a Xsara Picasso is completely broken, making it unusable. Fortunately, a replacement part for the bracket that holds the armrest is available. It is a component that can be found widely online. We suggest using the code 1005004819156988 on AliExpress for the price of £2.43 plus £4.12 for shipping. Carefully remove all pieces from the upholstery hole, then place the new bracket in the hole left by the damaged one. You can then refit the armrest in its place.
