How to Install the Center Armrest on a Volkswagen Polo or Virtus Sedan

You can easily install the center armrest on your Virtus or Polo by purchasing the part from major e-commerce platforms at prices ranging from $30 to $65. The wide range is due to the material you want your armrest to be covered with. The package includes the base, which will be secured with screws to the body, and all the various pieces that make up the kit, which we will see how to assemble. While sitting in the back seat, remove the rear ashtray, unscrew the screw that holds the handbrake cover, and take it off. Also, remove the shift boot; underneath, there are two screws that we will unscrew. Remove the radio trim, which is held in place by clips, just like the trim for the air conditioning buttons. Underneath, there are two screws that we will unscrew. Press the plastic buttons and gently pull: the center console should now come off easily. Under the console, there are two screws holding the center tunnel; remove them. At this point, the center tunnel is free, and we can place the base of the armrest underneath it. Secure it to the body with the four screws and position the rear trim of the armrest, which replaces the old factory ashtray. Now, position the armrest by fitting it properly and securing it with its central screw. Next, install the rear cover of the armrest, which is held in place by clips. Now reassemble the center tunnel, securing it with its screws, the console with clips and screws, the various trims we removed, the shift boot, and the handbrake cover. The job is complete.
