DIY : Installing the ZETA Wide Arm Rest
First of all, thank you Zeta for making this product.


Tip: The instructions say to recline the passenger sit and do it from there.
I recommend that you pull foward the passenger seat and sit on the back seat.
Much easier this way...more space!
1. Follow step #6 here backwards.



(Need a 17mm socket to remove the bolt)
2. Peel off the side oppossite to the open hole


3. Hand-tighten the metal rod/piece
(It only fits one way...)

4. Insert the armrest. The plastic tube (not the side you peeled off) goes in there...

5. Install washer + bolt
(Need a 13mm socket to bolt it...)




(and no, i don't know the ' torque specs' ... just make it hand tight)
6. Cover it and you're done! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Finished pictures:



Included instructions:

Review...
Good
-Wide!!!
-Fabric matches 100%
-Includes all necessary hardware and instructions
-Hassle-free service and quick shipping (w/ UPS Ground tracking #)
Bad
-Somewhat expensive ($65-75... $61.75 for the beginning of 03)
-Too short (It's more of an elbow rest... just like the stock one)
I am overall pleased with this product. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to everybody!!!
I was tired of having passengers use my armrest, but with the Zeta Wide Arm Rest there are no more problems.
So buy yours now! here! 2003 introductory price $61.75

Nice DIY!!! Good idea on putting the text on the image itself, but letters could have been a little bit bigger like the last couple of pics.
However, I'm still not a fan of this "wide" armrest. I found my arm rest got in the way of me shifting, but you won't notice because your driving auto.
Also, I think it looks cheezy. Kinda like a big food tray between the seats. To each his own I guess.
But again nice DIY with clear pictures!!!

Nice man. One question, does it get in the way when you put the E-break up. I thought about buying one too because passengers use mine too.

Thanks. I should have made the font a lot bigger, oh well.
and the pics arent that clear, 50kb upload limit.
You bring a good point by saying that it gets in your way since you drive MT. Heheh, us automatics don't worry about that.
edit: No, it doesn't get in the way of the e-brake

I HATE when passangers use my arm rest. I let them know who is king [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] at any rate. I dont really like the way that looks in our cars.
It make me think of an old 91 buick. But thats just me. Anyways, thnx 4 the DIY, now if they will just lower the price
