My Vanagon armrests are loose and look terrible. Will this kit actually fix my floppy armrest?

Absolutely! This Armrest Fix Kit is specifically designed to tackle loose, floppy armrests and cover up those worn-out pivot bolts. It replaces the old hardware, springs, and plastic caps with new ones, giving your armrests that smooth, secure feel and a much cleaner look. It's a quick fix for a common Vanagon interior issue.

I have a 1988 Vanagon Camper. How do I know if this armrest kit will fit my seats?

This kit is designed for all Vanagons from 1980-1991, including your 1988 Camper model. It fits the front driver and passenger seats, as well as the center auxiliary seat, as long as they have the non-adjustable, two-position armrests. Just make sure your armrests don't have multiple recline angles – if they are the simpler, fixed type, this kit is your solution!

What exactly comes in the Armrest Fix Kit? Do I need to buy anything else?

Each kit contains everything you need to repair one armrest: all the necessary new hardware, specialized thread locker fluid to keep things tight, new springs for proper function, and fresh plastic finish caps for a clean appearance. You won't need to buy any extra parts; just follow the included PDF instructions for a straightforward installation.

Is this a difficult repair? I'm not a mechanic.

Not at all! The Armrest Fix Kit is designed for a quick and easy installation, even if you're not a seasoned DIYer. The kit comes with clear PDF instructions to guide you step-by-step. Most customers find they can get their armrest fixed up in no time, just in time for their next road trip.
