ordered mine this morning. The local dealer couldnt beat 75.00 hopefully will be here before the weekend.

BJC

I'm sorry I didn't understand that......$75? I see $90.

Let us know how easy/hard it is to install please.

Please show pics when installed! Tanx!

Take that part number that they give yah from that link, 17800082 for the SS it has to ebony color, then go www.gmpartsdirect.com/ enter the part number and its like 75.90. This should be easy to install. All it looks like you do is pop off the back piece of the console and replace it with the armrest section. Pictures will be posted.

BJC

Ok, thanks.
They don't ship to Canada for me though.

Any Canadians know where I could also order this cheaper, besides GM dealers?

BJC

Checked and it's $118 Canadian from a GM dealer here.

oreded the part oh last monday (4/4/05) still being processed. Claims to be a special part. But it hasnt been charged to the credit card yet. Better comes in before I start going on vacations.

I like how www.gmaccessorieszone.com doesnt have pix of 85%, if not more of the parts listed . As said above, please post pix once installed

The suspense is killing me. I hope you can somehow install it on the Recaros...highly highly doubtful. Maybe you could modify it to work.

philco_3

should have nothing to do with the seats, the seats should roughly be the same size. Just got to deal with the console itself.

Vendian

O really? I was under the impression that it hooked onto the side of the seat like my friends Volvo armrest. It hooks to the console somewhere?

Well after about 3 weeks of hearing nothing, I finally got a shipping notice for the armrest. Should be here on Monday. I will post pics on how to install it.

For me I want to compare it to the ford focus.

philco_3

Monday my ass, I got off work just now and to my surpise there was the armrest sitting at the kitchen table. Looks to an easy installation. Pics on how to install to be up around Monday.

So what is the deal with there being three part numbers for the armrest. I'm guessing it's for the different models are Cobalt, but how do we know which part number is for what model?

BJC

They are different colors is all.

Armrest Package - Center Storage, Includes Cup Holder,Support,Screws, Gray 17800081 $90.00

Armrest Package - Center Storage, Includes Cup Holder,Support,Screws, Ebony 17800082 $90.00

Armrest Package - Center Storage, Includes Cup Holder,Support,Screws, Neutral 17800083 $90.00

philco_3

if you go www.gmpartsdirect.com and enter those part numbers you can get them for way less. It only cost me $71.00.

BJC

Doesn't help us Canadians though.

I put an armrest into my manual coupe, but I didn't do it with the Chevy accesory.

I purchased the following parts used in the sedan from the dealer:

1) armrest assembly (color specific)
2) armrest support bracket (must have)
3) rear cup holder filler panel
4) four 6mm mounting screws (armrest support to body)
5) two ~10 mm screws (armrest to support)

Basically, I had to R&R the existing rear center console panel and mount the support, then the armrest, then the filler panel.

FYI,

I waitied almost 1 month for GM to supply the armrest support to me. It was on backorder forever.

All installed now, can send pics if someone needs them.

I don't know why they chose to not include the armrest in the package from factory. Maybe the '06s will have it.
