How to replace the armrest on a Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the armrest on a Volkswagen Golf, lift it to access the storage compartment underneath. This will also allow access to the underside of the armrest itself. Use a tool to pry the armrest free from its housing at the two side parts; once released, detach it to insert the new one. The new armrest must be secured in its place, ensuring it opens and closes correctly.
