How to install the armrest of the VW Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017

The assembly of the armrest for the front left seat of the Volkswagen Polo is a quick operation with simple steps that can be easily done independently. To perform this operation, we need to remove the cup holder located on the central lower part of the vehicle, simply insert your fingers inside and pull the piece upwards. Then we proceed with the assembly of the armrest; we insert the bracket into the holes for the screws and lock everything in place. Next, we install the cover of the piece. We test the movement of the armrest from horizontal to vertical before hitting the road.
