Part description

This right armrest is intended for the interior of the Peugeot 307 and serves as a support for the passenger seat. It is a part in a specific color design GREEN ASCOT (designation HQD-), suitable as a replacement in case of damage, wear or aesthetic deterioration of the original backrest.

When choosing, we recommend following the product number 883012 and matching design/color so that the part fits correctly in the interior in terms of appearance and attachment.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for interior armrest replacement, the exact procedure may vary depending on the design of the seat and the specific attachment. Below is a practical one-size-fits-all procedure.

1) Before assembly

• Compare the new part with the old part: side (right), shape, attachment, possibly covers and folding mechanism.
• Check the color and finish (ASCOT GREEN / HQD-) to match the interior.
• Inspect the backrest for cracks in the supporting part, broken handles or excessively extended joints.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Basic set of screwdrivers / bits and ratchet (according to the type of fastening material in the car)
• Plastic removal levers (trim tools)
• Flashlight
• Cleaning agent for plastics/textiles and cloth (for cleaning contact surfaces)

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Secure the vehicle against movement and create enough space for the passenger seat.
2. Adjust the seat to a position that allows access to the armrest attachment point.
3. Carefully remove any plastic covers in the mounting area (use a plastic pry bar to avoid damaging the upholstery).
4. Undo the fasteners of the original backrest (screws/pins depending on the design).
5. Remove the old armrest and check the condition of the threads, grips and seating surfaces on the seat.
6. Clean the mating surfaces and remove any dirt that could cause play or creaking.
7. Place the new backrest in the correct position and first lightly fasten it with the fasteners.
8. Check that the backrest fits correctly and that nothing is cut when the seat moves.
9. Tighten the fasteners and replace all caps.
10. Test the full tilt/recline and verify that the mechanism holds without excessive play.

• 4) Post-assembly checks and functional test verification

  • Check the stability of the attachment (the backrest must not wobble or loosen).
  • Check that there is no abrasion anywhere on the upholstery and that the backrest does not restrict the normal control of the seat.
  • Drive the car briefly and feel for any creaking – tightening or comparing the covers/seats often helps.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Swap sides (right/left): always compare the shape and orientation with the old piece.
  • Damage to covers and upholstery: use plastic pry bars and work gradually without violence.
  • Backrest not sitting in the correct position: before final tightening, straighten the backrest and try the movement several times.
  • Pulling/tearing off the attachment: tighten with sensitivity, especially for plastic parts and inserts in the upholstery.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Mechanical wear of the joint and play from frequent use.
  • Cracking of grips when leaning with full weight or upon impact.
  • Damage to the surface (abrasions, flaking, penetration) due to normal operation.
  • Unprofessional disassembly/assembly leading to the caps breaking off or the attachment being deformed.
