I saw this for sale a couple of months ago in the marketplace and haven't seen one since. Where do you get these?

 

I bought mine from www.GotMINI.com

Called the TVA Elbow Landing Device.

On my car. But mine is the TVA one above. I bought my car from the owner and it was already on there. I would recommend a different arm rest though because they are a little on the small side, and mine tends to slide back a little here and there.

 

You need to adjust it if it moves. I first put my TVA on my '03 Cooper the day I picked it up--the MA didn't even realize I put it on there--he just put his elbow down, and commented that he didn't remember there being an armrest spec'd on my MINI, lol.

After I sold the MINI, I moved it to my '05 MCS. I've had well over 130,000 miles of elbow resting on it, lol. Still doesn't move at all after I adjusted it.

For the price, I couldn't recommend anything else--otherwise you're looking at $160-$220 for other options.

How did you adjust it? Did you bend the frame in? Also very possible that mine was the prototype, Because my exhaust and suspension were both prototype parts at the time. very early 02 build date on my car, and nothing but trouble because of it.

 

Loosen the thumb screws beneath the cushion. Press the two metal halves together as tight as possible. Slide them forward or backwards along the console if needed for a tighter fit. Still holding the halves together, tighten the screws. Easy. (no bending necessary)
