Arm Rests Are Woobly !

[Guest bezzer]

Hi all,

 

Both the front seat armrests are quite wobbly on my Galaxy when they are folded down. There is a cap on the side where they swivel on the seat. Is it possible to remove this cap and tighten the bolt/screw that attatchs it to the seat ?

 

All advice greatly appreciated.

Bezzer,

 

I had the same with my Gal. I removed the screws completely, applied some threadlock and replaced. Not had a problem since. They're Torx type screws but can't remember what size and the bores in the arm rest are quite deep so you'll need an extended socket rather than a standard one.

 

A dead simple fix. Should take you all of 10 minutes!

 

Regards

Tighten them up with a T40 torx tool. they're available in "allen key shapes", so you'll get deep into the socket. just pull the cap off.

Used to have that problem in my original Gal.

 

A long handled largish flat screwdricer will also do the job, if a suitable Torx isn't handy.

 

Once they've gone wobbly, they keep doing it tho.

Use a small amount of Loctite 222 on the threads.

I had the same problem, and took the bolt out to add some locktight, but found that the retaining nut had come free, and was unable to refit.

 

I had to resort to using some blue tack to hold nut whilst I refitted, so beware of undong the bolt completly
