Arm Rest
I'm sure this has been covered and discussed a million times, but I couldn't find any old posts about it. Does the GM armrest, part #19157354, fit the 2009 Cobalt SS? It states only for cars equipped with an automatic transmission. I want to make sure before I order one. Thanks for your help.

it will fit manual transmissions fine. i have one and i can use my ebrake no problem. honest to god its one of the best things ive done to my car to date. the car should have come from the factory with one in every car.

how would it mess with the shifting, its no where near the shifter. when i shift i have the upper half of my arm between the rist and elbow resting on the arm rest at all times. feels so comfortable and natural

I drove this 1 car years ago that you would hit your elbow on it shifting into 2nd, 4th, and reverse. It was just annoying.

Hello Yellow Jacket,
Looks like there's been a lot of great feedback already for your question. Where are you ordering your part from? It might be worth checking out gmpartsdirect.com - I searched that part number and it was less than $70.
Best,

I recently installed one in my car;
I'm on the fence - it kinda feels out of place...
I might sell it.
but it definitely does work.
you have to virtually remove your console to get the mounting bracket in place - just a "heads up".
I would encourage you to buy from Crate Engine Depot;
Why would i suggest this?

Why would i suggest this?
- they support this website, other related websites..
- they have a flawless reputation with shipments - gmpartsdirect doesn't (plus they will not ship to Canadian addresses - something I found out before learning of CED)
- because Tom @ CED is an absolute pleasure to deal with... and they list this at what $76(!?)

but I wouldn't advocate using only two of the four mounting bolts...
how's this;
Correction:
If you intend to do a proper installation, be prepared to virtually remove the console
