Mod for armrest issue..
I could not take it anymore. I had always liked the "captains chairs" in Chevy Tahoes (but that was about all I liked in that ).
Today, I pulled off my driver side armrest (one bolt) and had a look at the inside. I did not go crazy and take pics of this process, but wanted to let the option be known.
If you look inside, it's obvious that what makes the rest stop on the way down is a slot in the metal. By enlarging the slot by 1/4" (grinding the metal so the slot is longer), it will allow the armrest to <a href="http://go-advertising.com?go=travel" onmouseover="window.status = 'goto: travel';return 1" onmouseout="window.status=''">travel</a> further (lower) when it is reinstalled.
DISCLAIMER: This solution is not for everyone! The rest will ALWAYS <a href="http://0-2u.com?go=travel" onmouseover="window.status = 'goto: travel';return 1" onmouseout="window.status=''">travel</a> that low after doing this, so if your wife (or you) decide to drive in a more upright position, you will have a low armrest. It worked for me cause I always kick back when I drive.
Hope this helps someone.
