Can I get an amen that it’s ridiculous that we have to do this ourselves? Dealers should be doing it as an extra you’re welcome. It’s really crazy these things are locked! The Volkswagen MK7 Golf R arrives from the factory with the armrest completely locked. Luckily, a 4MM Torx screw driver and you’re getting quite a bit of storage space back in your life.
Thanks Zed4Me for the video guide
This took all of 5 minutes to complete! Yes, I know it’s just an open arm rest but it is technically a modification you have to do yourself.
