The armrest pad is secured to the armrest frame with three screws whilst the domestic armrest pad is secured to the armrest frame with two screws. Removal of the screws releases the pad. Secure the pad with the attachment screws to refit.

The plastic panel is removed by carefully drilling off the heads of the two pop rivets using a 1/4" (or equivalent) drill bit. Slide the panel forwards on the armrest frame until the moulded hooks release from the tube.
The plastic panel is fitted by placing the moulded hooks against the armrest frame tubes and pushing the panel backwards on the frame. Fit 2 new pop rivets using the correct tool.
