Function And Fitment
The mechanism provides pivot, height and locking function for the passenger armrest. It mounts directly to the seat frame or the armrest base and retains the armrest in the selected position. When operating correctly, the mechanism allows smooth adjustment and a firm lock to prevent unwanted movement while driving. This unit is intended as a direct replacement for the original mechanism specified for the listed Citroën and Peugeot models.
Installation Recommendations
Replacement requires basic workshop tools and a few general steps: remove the armrest cover or trim to access mounting screws; loosen and remove the fasteners securing the old mechanism; carefully detach the mechanism from the seat frame and disconnect any clips; install the new mechanism in the correct orientation, align holes and secure fasteners to the manufacturerʼs recommended tightness; reassemble trim and check armrest movement and locking under load. Use threadlocker on metal fasteners if previously applied and avoid overtightening plastic fixings. If unsure about access to concealed fasteners, remove the seat cushion or backrest panel following vehicle-specific guidance.
Why The Part Most Commonly Fails
- Material Fatigue: Repeated movement and load cause plastic components and small pivots to wear or crack over time.
- Mechanical Wear: Internal pawls, springs or detents can wear, causing poor locking or slippage.
- Impact Or Misuse: Excessive force or heavy loads on the armrest can deform or break the mechanism.
- Corrosion And Dirt: Accumulated dirt or corrosion on metal pivots reduces smooth movement and accelerates wear.
For professional fitters and experienced DIYers this armrest mechanism offers a straightforward repair that restores passenger comfort and prevents further interior damage caused by a loose or non-locking armrest.
