Arm rest length

Anyone ever wish the arm rest on their captain's chairs was longer in the down position or is it just me? I find myself having to push my shoulder back just to allow my elbow to rest on the armrest. Just curious.

Re: Arm rest length

Arm rest too short, drivers seat unlevel diving to the rear right [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]. On trips I grap a big feather pillow and "build" a new arm rest! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Arm rest length

I know, they must have some small people designing these. I can tolerate it but it is too short.

Re: Arm rest length

I'm a big guy and it really doesn't bother me. The seat could be an inch wider.

Re: Arm rest length

Thanks guys, I know it's not just me now. I too find myself using the center storage as the armrest and leaning over. In my 00 Exp, the center storage actually doubled as the armest and worked great. But then again, the Exp is no PSD X!
