Armrest Replacement

Model: Hyundai Sonata - Years 2004-2014
Part: Accessory kit

If the armrest cannot support itself when opened, it indicates a failure of the support springs, which are integrated into the support bracket. To resolve the issue, you will need to replace the armrest itself. Start by detaching the plastic cover at the rear of the centre console, then remove the cover that conceals the internal hinge of the armrest. Next, unscrew the fixing screws of the plate and remove the old armrest. Install the new armrest by tightening the four screws and reattaching the plastic covers.
