Euro flip top is my choice if you want to spend a little more. But it does hold up and work. No slide back issues like the factory one i have.

I had this problem and actually bought a used one that is firmer. I ended up not using the replacement one though and installing some thick sticky back felt on the slider parts where the stock felt had worn away. It works great! I dont have the issue anymore.
Anyone wanna buy my unused used armrest?!

Is it like the one pictured above with the flip top, or the factory installed armrest with the sliding top and big plastic frame? Some people got tired of the sliding top armrest opening all of the time and glued it shut to just use it as an armrest and forget about the extra storage.

The slider, stock unit has no spring back, it just slides back and forth. You can click here and see the pics of the underside of the covers,

Yes, home depot and lowes Mods strike again. Never seen the door swing armrest mod. Mystery solved.
