[@harkatdz]

[@xyngilliam6797]

Nice video. Do you have one that shows how to remove/install the console armrest of the vw Atlas ? I need it !!!

[@Servicetutorials]

Unfortunately not. Sorry!

[@cjdoc77]

Thank you for posting this and other tutorials! That have been super helpful! Very simple and doesn’t have all the extra talking, straight and to the point.

[@Servicetutorials]

cjdoc77 Thank you for your feedback!

[@dracony7649]

Can you change the swtich under the brake without removing the entire metal box ?

[@mjvonstein]

Helped a bunch! Thanks!!

Damn. I want to replace shifter bushings in my Golf 5, but I have the rear air conditioning tunnel installed. I started removing the center console but the AC tunnel to the rear vents still won't move, so logically the next step is remove the armrest and remove the tunnel beneath it. But this is an insane amount of work to just get to the screws on the shifter. Its over 40 screws in not so easy access locations, I'm this close to giving up and drive with worn bushings lol (gears shift but handle has too much freeplay, missing 1st gear etc.)

[@noventay4]

Then pay someone to do it for you

[@jB_15]

that is heck a lot of work just to replace the centre cup holder slider.. wow.

[@unmecdetess7581]

Same problemm brooo

[@edwardtorchilo2384]

Does this work for mk6 jetta?

[@bbogdanmircea]

Can you confirm that I need to remove the armrest in order to change the handbrake cables?

[@Servicetutorials]

The handbrake cables are underneath the armrest and you probably need to remove that part.

[@bbogdanmircea]

Yes, I think so. At least I have this very nice tutorial and I hope I can dissassemble it by myself and spare my mechanic a lot of time and cursing.

[@bbogdanmircea]

@@Servicetutorials I tried yesterday and it was a PITA, dunno why but in my case I can't remove the armrest if I don't remove the whole front console part, the curtain for the brake lever is the problem. Now I see that center console removal is needed also in the video which means a lot more work.

[@muhsindegercan4912]

Hey dear, you're great. Let me ask a question please. I have another trim package in my mk5 Jetta and so my console is unlike this. Are the center console bases of different trim packages same? If i wanna switch my center console to this one on the video, does it fit and work?

[@garnerquain5544]

I *think* you need to change the opening here, or at least put a disclaimer somewhere that the rear console has to be out first BEFORE the center console. I think that's the opposite of the opening of this vid. Its confusing.

[@Servicetutorials]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@sethmarteiboye3547]

good tutorial

[@D2608J]

Do you need to take the whole middle console out before removing the armrest?

[@Servicetutorials]

D2608J Yes, it is the same as showing in the video.

[@D2608J]

@@Servicetutorials Thank you for the late answer. I have done the job and you don't have remove the whole middle console to get the armrest out. You can just slide it out if you pull the back part upwards

[@erickrizo7508]

Como se llama la pieza que sacas en el paso 10?

[@LateTuber]

Hello, I was wondering does Golf V armrest can fit in Golf 6? Thank you if you answer.

[@Servicetutorials]

LateTuber Hello! We don’t know, we didn’t do that.

[@victorgore7123]

Yes it does

[@MrEmminem007]

Buna, 2 Intrebari: a. Daca doresc sa inlocuiesc doar "imbracamintea" franei de mana, cum sa procedez? se poate doar trage afara ? Am vazut ca are sub ceva "clema"? b. Daca doresc sa inlocuiesc doar cotiera (partea culisanta), sunt ceva suruburi dupa primii 4 pasi ? Daca da, ce mi-ar trebui pt a le desface? Multumesc frumos :) Horia

[@davidorama6690]
