Arm Rest

canadiantj · #1 (**permalink**) 09-02-2007, 07:06 PM

Has anyone seen an aftermarket armrest (pillow) for the center console of the Xterra. The console sits alittle low for my taste and would be nice to have a place to rest my right elbow.

So, you're looking for this piece?

This pic is from an 03 X; maybe it's something you can get from the dealer?

Yes and no. I'm looking for an aftermarket taller padded top as the Xterra one sits lower than your elbow if your arm is at approx 90 degree bend at the elbow(if that makes sense). Basically, just the lid but taller or padded or an add-on to the plastic lid.

Even higher than that? How tall ARE you?

Put two on top of each other?

Unfortunately, I am fresh out of ideas.

Good luck and welcome to the forum!

Only 6' but haven't tried lowering the two dials on the seat yet as my wife has it at a comfortable position for her. Maybe have to borrow the truck again and mess everything up on her.

We HATE that! If you keep doing it she might make you get your own.

My ex was 6'4" and I'm 5'5" and I had to adjust my seat and mirrors EVERY time I got in my truck! Even if he was just running to the corner, he'd adjust everything! So, I had to get rid of him.

Better not let my wife read this then. Seat has remained in place untouched thanks to you. I guess I know my roll.

Nissan used to have a accessory armrest (for a harbody/pathfinder) that mounted on top of the existing armrest. Can you, or do you know anyone that could to some custom work for you, maybe a fiberglass shell then have it upholstered to go with your interior...

Thanks Speedo,

I'm going to be visiting shop in the near future to see what I can come up with!
