#31 of 100 Re: uninstalling the arm rest [rocketman10] by lucynethel Jun 28, 2006 (12:38 pm)
Replying to: rocketman10 (Jun 28, 2006 11:42 am) Iam adjusting to NO armrest. It just slips into the cupholder. YOUR dealer is nuts! I forsee problem with setting the parking brake and NEED that cupholder so I may live without it myself? STOOPID of Toyota to destroy all the storage potential setting up the Emergency brake like they did. Sad........
#32 of 100 uninstalling the arm rest by rocketman10 Jun 28, 2006 (1:48 pm)
Thanks. that is what I thought since I don't want a problem with the emergency brake and also I don't want to lose the cupholder. I tried the yaris specialist online and they were no help and two different reps. give me conflicting information. I am calling the dealer manager in the morning (he didn't know much when I first spoke to him.) I just don't want the armrest and its annoying at this point. The salesperson says I have to take it if it comes with it. I say bull. I will let you know how I make out. Replies to this message: rodnreel (Jun 28, 2006 5:19 pm)

Replying to: rocketman10 (Jun 28, 2006 1:48 pm) Rocketman:   My automatic Liftback came without an armrest..and I wanted one! I bought one on E-BAY (Factory from Toyota) and installed it myself. If just fits into the cupholder, with a little wire for support that runs down to the seat rails. One screw holds it in place. It also lifts up, so you can get to the parking brake and has another cup holder built onto the back end, so you don't loose the cup holder space! I think you should give the armrest a shot..it is comfy. BTW I only paid $50 on E-Bay, plus $13 for shipping.   Best of luck, I love my Lift!

rodnreel,   thanks for your comments. Much appreciated. It is good to know that you don't lose the cupholder. I am a coffee drinker and travel a lot for work (I am also right handed so the left handed cup holder by the a/c heating vent on the driver side is awkward to me)   Do you find that with the armrest that you have easy access to the cupholder for coffee and other beverages? Just wondering.   I can't believe you found one at less then half the price on ebay and the arm rest is a $129.00 accessory....amazes me!   thanks again for your help..that means a lot to me. I have stressed about the armrest because I was afraid it would be a loss of the cupholder and loss of decent access to the emergeny brake....I will let you know what happens. Also, I am glad to hear that you love your Liftback..that is music to my ears!!
#35 of 100 I like the armrest by violin Jun 29, 2006 (9:06 am)
My liftback came with an armrest installed. I didn’t really want one but was just happy to find a liftback otherwise equipped how I wanted it. I had a similar armrest in my 1985 Mazda RX-7 and it eventually broke off and I’m afraid this one will one day too. I find that I really like having it though.   Like rodnreel says, it is just attached with a screw and a couple little wire supports. It would be easy to remove.   I don’t know how useful the cupholder would be there anyway. The way it is now, the piggybacked cupholder is really only useful for back seat occupants. The left-handed cupholder is not that convenient for us ‘normal’ people (right-handed) but it works OK.   They really do mark-up those port installed accessories. You can order most through your dealer for much less and install them yourself.
#36 of 100 armest issues by rocketman10 Jun 29, 2006 (10:00 am)
Violin,   Thanks for your help. I hope that the left handed cup holder works out ok (like you, I am right handed) I will let everyone know when I get my Liftback. It is supposed to be here in a few weeks. I hope sooner. The wait is killing me. Replies to this message: rodnreel (Jun 29, 2006 4:38 pm)

Replying to: rocketman10 (Jun 29, 2006 10:00 am) rocketman: I am right handed too and a morning coffee drinker. I sometimes reach around to the back cup holder and put my drink in there. It is a little awkward, but once you know where it is, you can feel for it...or use your right hand and go across the steering wheel. Neither is a great option. It is my one complaint about my Liftback. Oh, and it was not any better without the armrest...it was still awkward to reach.   Drop a line when you get your Lift. Mine will hit 3000 miles tomorrow. I bought it on 5/19. My last tank I got 37.1 mpg, about 25% city and 75% HWY. Who needs a cup holder?
#38 of 100 armrest by rocketman10 Jun 29, 2006 (5:35 pm)
Rodnreel,   Thanks for the insights and for the report. I was going to get my vehicle the same weekend you did (except it was a demo and I had a bad feeling about it....sorta looked used too much....turns out someone bought it after I test drove..silly me thought they would have more then one in...but I am glad that I ordered the Liftback. I am still waiting to find out if it did or didn't come with an armrest (the sales person says no, the internet manager says yes...you would think its an easy question to answer????/grrrr!!! Congrats on the 3000 miles and great mileage..I will let you know. I am supposed to hear within the week about approximate arrival time.....I hope sooner then later...I feel like a kid waiting to open up his Christmas present and very anxious for it to arrive!

Replying to: rocketman10 (Jun 29, 2006 5:35 pm) Oh, and I forgot to mention I've been driving 75-80 mph on the HWY with the AC on. I could get better MPG if I were to slow down.
