Hi folks! As you know from a previous post, to me a functional armrest is a requirement in my cars. The 2015 misses the mark in this department.

I had previously posted on this:

and made a "prop" in order to use the stock armrest.

I just finished building a proper armrest based on tbFit's ideas. Thanks tbFit!

I absolutely LOVE my new armrest! It is soooooo comfortabel and cost about $20 to make. That was for the Velcro straps and the cover material. All other materials came from discarded items.

You can see many photos of the build in this album:

I like it; here is my 2nd gen armrest link:

Very creative bulldogtrekker! I didn't know you'd need to alter the armrest for the 2nd gen. At least, your model had a functional armrest from the start..

 

Korgster... That came out looking nice!

 

Thanks TbFit... your solution and photos helped me tremendously.
Cheers!

 

The Fit Sport comes with an armrest attached to the driver's seat, but I found it to be too low, too short and too close to the driver's seat.

 

Korgster, looks nice! An arm rest is probably the first mod I will make to the fit once I get one. Did you buy the pillow somewhere or did you make it?

Also, I'm a bit confused because your 2015 fit ex has heated seats, and a key hole. Does it have push button start?

 

Thanks.
Yes I made it. Have a look at my album link earlier on this post. I took lots of photos in the process. I used foam material from a discarded leather couch.

I used the foam from the seat part as it was denser than the back.

The armrest is soooo comfortable, I couldn't be happier.

Ask if you have more questions. I'd be happy to help.

 

as for this question... in Canada an EX doesn't have keyless as stock. The EX-Navi does. ALong with leather seats, etc. For us, it wasn't worth the extra $3K.

 

Ohhh, ok. That explains it.
