Armrests

[Southpaw]

How do you get the armrests off of the captains chairs in a Lariat?

Id like to know also, mine is cracked bad and need to get re covered

[Southpaw]

I'm thinking about swapping mine and flipping them. The drivers side leather is cracked real bad where my elbow goes. If I flip them, it will underneath the passengers side so you'd never see it.
There is a lot less padding on th bottom side, so it might not be the best idea, but I was gonna try it

Anyway.....how do they come off?
please

That is a good idea . . . until you flip up the passenger one and see the hole in it
But I'd like to know cause mine is bad also

You pull the vinyl and foam up and over where the hinge would be,one bolt with a torx head is all that is holding it on....
I don't think you could just flip them around because the stopper would be in the wrong spot and the arm rest would just fall down.
I'll take pics later....

Yeah I wasn't sure if is be able to flip them or not. I was going to try, but you're probably right about the stopper.

[smokeyd]

im not in the truck but could you take the cover off and flip it maybe, prob easier to get re covered

[Southpaw]

I'm going to get them both off and play around with them. Theres got to be a way swap some stuff and have it look good with out having it re-covered

I'll let you know what I end up finding out

Anyone have any idea how much it would be to get 2 captain chairs recovered at a shop?
