Can anybody tell me if the armrests are now available at the dealers for purchase? I want one for my 2002 MC and 2005 MCS Cabrio delivered in September of 2004. I have been waiting patiently.

 

Yup! They should have them in stock, or if not, they can order it.

How much? How much for install? Is it easy to do? PN?

 

This may help for part numbers ...

wedge, Classic has a black convert with cordoba leather inside with a armrest if you wanna see it up cloase first!

 

If you want the new armrest thats in the 2005 cars consider its a great armrest. But its horrible when it comes to the rear cupholder. It makes it almost unusable.

 

From motoringfile.com (it's what I used)

Parts Information:
Center Armrest, Silver: 51 16 0 398 630 $250.00
Center Armrest, Anthracite: 51 16 0 398 467 $250.00

Additional Parts required for retrofit:
E-Brake Console
Convertible 51 16 6 958 577 $$53.25
Hardtop 51 16 6 958 575 $45.26

The '05 shouldn't need the E-Brake console, but the '02 will.

And remember to ask for the printed instructions! Or, I can dig up my PDF. Good luck!

This kit includes the brake console too?:smile:

 

Assuming you mean the newly styled '05 console w/ the change cup, yup!

Thanks very much Very informative but do you have a image of inside the console?

 

I'm sorry, I must be missing something. I think I included a few pics with the outer console cover removed.

When you say "inside the console," what do you mean? The section inside the armrest itself?

yess

 

Well, as my armrest kit is already gone, I can't offer any new pics.

However, there were/are a couple on motoringfile's article about the kit:

Hope that helps!
