Wife's 2000 Explorer XLS has broken armrest. Naturally this happened at 38000 mi so no warranty. Anyone else have this problem???

 

the armrest on my '92 explorer broke too... how are your door handles and light switches doing?

 

items you mentioned OK got armrest fixed under extended warranty assist handles in rear seat keep working loose only held on with small sheet metal screws hope this helps Humpty

 

the armrest on my 92 is broken also.....i took out the whole assembly, and am in the process of locating another one.. any ideas where i could get one?

 

>any ideas where i could get one?

Go to your local ford dealership's service department. Sorry, but i can't fing the recept, but i think it cost me around $40 to replace mine.

ha, i suppose my warrenty is gone. lol, just a joke, thanks. i keep trying to call, but all i get is the standard "your call is very important to us. please stay on the line and a ford represenitve will be with you shortly" speech. oh well, ill keep trying. thanks yall

 

Depending on how badly your armrest is broken,...
I fixed mine (91) with some clear adhesive stuff called weld-something. It is like the old automotive goop (not hand cleaner) glue that I have also bought. That was over a year ago and it's still solid.

You could probably go to your local ford dealer for thae part, well if you want to pay an arm and a leg. I broke the armrest in my old explorer, and luckily found one in a scrapyard. Id try there first, grantite you'll be picking it out of a junker, but if its functional why not. Just my $.02
