I have a question about my 2k Max. SE, I think it's stupid, but I must ask :
The armrest that's between the two front seats has a button that allows it to raise about 2 inches or so for more comfort.
My problem is that when I raise it and lean on it, it goes back down.
My question is : is there a way to lock this armrest when it's raised ???

Thanks in advance.

 

it is supposed to lock automaticaly, there must be something wrong w/it

 

If it doesn't lock, it's broken. It should only go back down if you depress
the button on the front of the arm rest.

 

Well thank you all for your quick reply. I took the whole thing apart and found the problem, I have to replace the mechanism part of the armrest = $50 at Nissan !

ya, u broke it.... heheh... i broke mine when i got a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt..... =(

 

never broken anything in my car, i'm very gentle.

 

I'm having a hard time sorting out which part to order to fix my arm rest. It's broken in the same way that seems is typical. Anyone have a part number? How bout a reference number for nissanpartsonline?

 

I never even use mine for the longest time I didnt realize that the top shallow part opened too.

 

What's the trick to getting the shallow part to open? I can raise and lower it and open the large part, but can't figure out the trick to get to the small area??

 

dont press the flap, just lift up on it and it will pop open

 

pull hard, first time it did it I thought I broke it lol.

 

Get the part at a junk yard. You should be able to get the whole center peice for less than that

 

mine does that sometimes, I have to pull it hard. I don't use it alot tho.

 

Can someone help me confirm which part is the one where the front lip breaks off?

I'm thinking I need the part shown here

It is part number 96922MA shown in the lower right corner in this diagram:

 

Orderd that part number through dave, it was the right one. For future reference the nissan part number on the invoice is 969A0-3y103, description: Lid Inner Console. I paid $20 plus shipping.
