umm... does your elbow hitting the button and popping the arm rest up 10 times a day annoy the **** out of anyone else????

 

my arm is long...elbow sits past the button

 

That's never happened to me. Jason, read the title. You aren't wanted here.

 

im sorry...my extra gear make my opinion invalid

 

You can keep your .5 litres, too.

My elbow rarely hits that and when it does it's typically when fumbling for something in my cup holders. I do a lot of gear changing with hand movement alone, not so much my arm.

 

yeah, that happened when i first got the car so I just leave it up... feels more comfortable for me like that

 

I hate when it is up. My elbow always hits it. How short are your arms?

 

my elbow only hit it a couple of times, but i know how you feel

 

I have the same problem + accidentally turning on the seat warmers.

 

I have issues with the wipers and accidently turning on the high-beams. That's about it.

 

happens sometimes...

Don't let it come out all the way and push it back in (with that same elbow)

 

Never bothers me up or down.

 

lol i didnt know if the 02-03's had the same setup, so i just said 5spd's

but yeah ive gotten used to it and just pop it back down before it comes all the way up, maybe it happens a lot because of my short shifter? im sure a lot of you have them too though.. dunno

 

every once in a while....

 

I just removed the stupid button all together

 

considering it lol

 

I'm a mere 5'8" and have never had any problems.

 

dam shorty!!!!

 

Short and stocky FTMFL

 

i have long arms and it annoys the **** outta me.....

 

lol

 

i thought i was the only one, nice to know i'm not alone... maybe we should start a support group?

 

Never in my life have I hit the button when shifting. I can't even reach it with my elbow when I try!

~short 5'7" asian dude

 

I don't hit it either. 5'11" here.

 

It's happened to me a couple of times, but it always seems to happen at the wost time... It's like the shifter location/armrest/seating position were afterthoughts for the 5 spd.

My issue with the high beams has been shutting the stalk switch from Auto to Off or Parking while flashing the lights. That's really scary on a dark road with an idiot pedestrian/biker in the way or a car coming at you. A couple of years back, I almost hit a guy walking on the road side (in the same direction I was traveling) and cars were coming from the other direction. All I saw were his shoes, then one second I'm flashing to see him, the next I'm fumbling with the stalk to turn the headlights back on instead of watching for the oncoming cars or this idiot walking with his back to me...

 

YES!!! i hate that, a rubber band should solve the problem.

i dont think i've ever had that problem either.
