How To Install Better Armrest in 2013 Ford Escape

The original armrest on a 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 Ford Escape is not that great. In this video I explain how to install an improved armrest. One that is softer, more supportive, and longer.
It fits just like the original, it will look original, and the latch opens and closes perfectly.
The tools needed come with the armrest when you purchase it. There are no instructions in the box however. I made this video to show you how easy it is to install and to show you what the armrest looks like.
These are available on AliExpress, search for "Ford Kuga Armrest" and you'll see it in the search results!
Thanks for watching!

You saved me a whole lot of headaches Had to replace the latch and never knew that the inside of the arm rest just unsnapped. Thanks! Happy wife happy life!

Thank you so much for this video. I'm installing a new armrest on my 2013 Ford Fusion. The armrest set up is pretty similar. I will say, that latch piece is a challenge to get back in.

This guy goes on somehow so much for the reason I came for this video

[@emanuscriptgraphics]

Actually used this video to change the armrest for my 2013 Fusion. Thanks.

@emanuscriptgraphics where did you buy your armrest? I have a 2013 ford fusion as well

[@emanuscriptgraphics]

@@trinabelle SneedParts I believe. There's a couple of OEM dealers, but that's just the one I picked at random.

Damn I wish he had a close up on this to see what I’m messing with

My 2013 Ford Escape console latch fell off how do you put that back on?

[@30SupaStar30]

Any luck?

[@amarismith9955]

I’m having trouble getting the latch back on. Does the small metal stick that goes though the spring snap into the holes?

[@30SupaStar30]

Any luck?

I liked your video but it would be very helpful to put the actual link to the product in the description.

[@howdothings3843]

Thanks for finding the link!

[@jackherron6442]

Do you still sell these? I want to buy one, but don't want to wait a month or go through the Ali express headache.

[@swesr]

does it interfere with the rear second cup holder?

[@richbell7448]

Does this work for a 2015 Ford Escape Titanium package? I thought I saw on ebay that this only works for the non-titanium packages?

[@howdothings3843]

I installed it on a 2013 Ford Escape Titanium no problem.

[@BrennanLovell-zp7jj]

How the fuck is this a how to when you cut out the most complicated part? The handle and catch is what I'm talking about. I just bought a new catch (CJ5Z-7806162-A). The other one broke because I tried to reattach the handle to the catch. Thanks for wasting my time. No I'm not trying to replace the whole thing just the catch.

[@howdothings3843]

This was one of my first how-to videos, I'll keep your feedback in mind for future videos, thank you.
