Thanks for the video! For everyone else: I have a 98 CRV. My passenger seat does not have the metal bracket for the armrest to bolt onto. But at the junkyard I was able to grab the driver armrest off another 98 driver seat, plus the metal bolt holder. Then I found a 2001(?) Passenger seat that did have the metal bracket that I could feel through the cushion. Wrong fabric, but I can swap that out at home. So I cut the hole, secured the mismatched armrest( and an extra 98 head rest) and took off the whole backside of the seat. (Leaving the bottom) Paid $21. $21 bucks to not have every passenger complain about not having an armrest?!?! Worth it... Wish I did it decades ago

My first car is still this reliable CRV. I love it and plan to keep it healthy until it can't anymore. I installed tinted windows, Blue LED headlights, and soon a roof cage lol. I kinds of want to convert it into an off-road CRV

I have one crv 1998, I'm keeping it too. This summer I installed sound deadening and insulation all around( a lot work but worth it) I'm planning to upgrade head unit to a 9 inch screen also I want tobupgrade the speakers and add a subwoofer, but small one because I need the trunk space. Which cargo basket are you planning to get? On of 64 inch?

My drivers seat was missing the armrest so I went to the junkyard and bought one. When I tried to install it I found the bracket was missing. I went back to the junkyard and bought an entire seatback which left me with an extra armrest, guess I'll install it on the passenger's side. Thanks for the video.

Good advice as always Phillip. My understanding as to why some models don't have the mounting bracket at all is that they don't put the brackets in the seats of manual transmission CRVs, maybe a safety thing where they don't want people's arms in the way of the shifter? Anyway thank you for the video.

@laurieb.n.66732 жыл бұрын
Hmmm, am I just the unlucky one??? My 2000 has an armrest FOR the passenger but not the driver and so I end up being the one who gets screwed. Guess it's because mine is a manual? Jeez, does Honda think I can't change gears with an armrest? 🙄I've wondered why I got shafted since I bought the thing, 22 years ago. Now I'm hesitant to go see if I can feel that bracket under the fabric you're talking about cuz if there's not one there, I'll be disappointed all over again lol. I have a couple questions for you, regarding the topic of seats, though. 1) Is there a trick to removing the passenger seat? I've heard that it can mess with the airbag sensors &/or leave the "check engine" light on, if you don't do it right. 2) If I remove the passenger seat, is there a way to install its secret drawer to under the driver's seat? (Or would the passenger seat & its drawer fit in the driver seat position, if I removed the passenger armrest?) I know these questions sound crazy (& probably dumb) but if I turn my car into a micro-camper, I want all the space I can get.
@hondaresource2 жыл бұрын
If you have a manual, it does not have the place to mount it on the driver seat. I just swapped an auto seat into my manual like 2 weeks ago. It most definitely will not have a check engine light for it, although it may have a srs light. I can verify on mine tomorrow. The passenger seat will not mount in the driver position. The bolt positions are different. I dont think the drawer will mount to the driver seat either, although I have never attempted to do it.
@laurieb.n.66732 жыл бұрын
@@hondaresource Ahhhh, I see. I just need to hit the junk yard (or my Honda mechanic lol) for a driver seat out of an automatic, in order to get the armrest. What's a reasonable price I can expect to pay for that? Thanks for answering my questions. I doubt the drawer would fit under the driver because there are no drawer slides under there and like you said, the bolt positions are diff which prolly also means other stuff under there is diff too, like the space for the drawer.
