Armrest TSB?!?!
OK - Am I going nuts, or was there a TSB or something about Ford replacing some of the armrests in Rangers and Explorers?
Seems like I saw it here, but now I can't remember...
Anyone know what I am talking about?

there should be a tsb on them, who on this web site owns a ranger with the armrest in perfect working order? the lid on mine is cracked, and the tab that holds it down is broke, so it latches but theres like a 1 inch gap between the lid and the bottom

I have a '99 with 60/40 seats and the arm rest is perfect. It latches correctly and the lid is fine. I have noticed that the lid doesn't seem to be very strong but it hasn't broken.
I am in the process of replacing my seats with Explorer leather seats and an Explorer center console and overhead console however so I'll have a new console anyway.

I had mine replaced under warranty. The lid would not stay closed, so they put a newer model in [the one with the cup holder].

on my 99 it latches good and everything but it is really weak. If i put something in there where it wont close all the way it bends and seems like its going to break, but its still holdin on for now.

yeah, your trucks are 5-6 years old, just wait a couple more when they start getting brittle, haha, mine still closes, so i wont worry about it, but one thing that bugs me the most is that the plastic covering on the passenger side is cracked and busting off, i wonder how much new ones of those are...
