Yes it does clamp onto your seat tracks without impeding the motion of the seat. This thing is so easy to install that I let my 9 yr. old finish the istallation after I showed him what to do. I tightened the nuts after he was done and total install was about 15 minutes. The look is factory and it is better than any other armrest out there.

I will measure it for you. It does not impede shifting in my automatic. From the posts that I've read on the other sites, the Zeta storage armrest does not impede the 5 speed either, as the other aftermarket armrests do.

Removing the automatic shift knob

I just picked up my new tC last night and I couldn't be happier.. Automatic, Silver Streak, Fog Lights, Auto-dimming rearview mirror... Such a fun car to drive!! My uncle is a car nut and couldn't believe all the standard options that come on this car.
I'll get to the question.. Does anyone know how I go about removing my automatic shift knob so that I can replace it with something a little more jazzy? I'm looking to replace it with one of the OXB shift knobs. Do I need any additional parts for installation?
Thanks!

10 days ago we put money down on a blue xb, now they are telling us they sold it to someone else. We have decided to start over and get a black cherry instead. One dealer I called said they don't make very many black cherry and they are really hard to get. I think he's just trying to get me to take the white one they have on the lot. He said they can't order them, they just get what they are shipped. He claims that all lots in Phoenix are sold out of xb. He also said that dealers won't call other dealers to check to see what they have. I think I'm being fed a line. He told me to call all the dealers. Since I don't live in Phoenix, but in a city near, I just decided to go with the dealer I have been working with and order one. My questions are:
1. Is black cherry that hard to find?
2. Is it true that they can't order a xb for you?
3. How does the paint hold up and does it get real dirty looking?

get your deposit back and try another dealership.
as long as they have your money, he thinks he can keep your business. If you think he's trying to keep you there to get the white one, then take your money and see how he responds.
you can also check inventories online from the scion website
any dark color that's not silver or grey is going to be dirty looking if you don't wash it.

oooh yeah, gold is good~!  Just don't underestimate by getting a car the color of dirt to not show dirt- dirt dries and changes color.

I went through something similar, except my dealer was more honest, dealers do not have to call, they have a slightly diffrent version of inventory checking software and they know, or will know very fast if there is a particular car to be had in the area. It can be had if this dealer is on a 1 to 1 with the other dealer (and good ones should be). The car is then transported or driven by your dealer and the dealer takes a little hit on his profit, you get at the agreed price with the few miles (if driven). In my case the dealer would have taken a week or more to go thru this method and I got my money back even though he was going to get me the car. And the dealer can order one for you to.

Visited a Scion Dealer for service on my X/b today and checked out new X/b's to see if they had the out of production Pirellis tires that I told you about in message #48. I took the Scion Sales Manager with me and found 2. One on the show room floor and one on the front sales lot. Didn't look for anymore but, I bet there were more out back.
So, I would suggest that you check out what tires you're riding on and get back to me. I don't think any owner would be willing to purchase any make or model of vehicle with tires that are out of date before you drive off the lot and moreover, can't be replaced if necessary with the same exact tire.
