Dismantling the Armrest

Model: Mazda Cx 7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Center console tunnel

The covering of the armrest tends to wear out due to constant friction with the elbow, sometimes even resulting in holes. You can replace it or have it reupholstered in leather (choosing a quality covering will last much longer than the original). In any case, you need to dismantle it. Start by opening and lifting the armrest, then remove the plate covering the base of the hinge and unscrew the underlying screws. Move to the back of the armrest and remove the other rear plate, completing the dismantling before proceeding in reverse for reinstallation.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
