Default Need help installing misch armrest!

The instructions say to remove the screws that are in the holes of the door pull. I can get them loose but they don't want to come out. Needle nosed pliers don't fit deep enough in the hole. Don't want to break anything. Any ideas?

Yep had the same problem last week. Once screw is loose shake door to free screws. Just hold on to the door tightly as you swing it towards you. Worked for me hope it helps you. Love mine by the way!

You guys were right. I slammed the door and they flew right out. These armrests sure make a big difference. Thank you for the help this forum rocks.

I've really been thinking of getting those armrests, but I am curious of whether not they make the sitting area smaller since they come out from the door (not sure if that makes sense). Do they jab you in the side at all?

My guess is they would make longer trips easier and more comfortable.

Anybody not like them?

They do not stick out far at all. I can't see them getting in the way. They are very comfortable.
