Model: Skoda Fabia Mark3, NJ - Years 2014-2021
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this tutorial, we will see how to disassemble the central armrest in the Skoda Fabia, a very simple and quick operation. First, let's go to the back seats, then we will unclip both side covers of the armrest base by prying with a plastic spatula, preferably, to avoid leaving any marks. Next, we will unscrew the bolt located on the right side using a Torx T30 wrench. We will then grab the armrest and, pulling it firmly upward, separate it from the base. To install any replacement part, just follow the reverse procedure.
