any place I can find a middle armrest for that center console? truck is an 89

 

Only place I've ever seem them is in the bone yards. Got mine from a 92 Mazda Navajo

 

E-Bay, that is where I sold mine. Probably want to look for an Eddie Bauer. Now, I am not sure, but, to me the B2 looked the exactly like the Explorer.

 

You could use the armrest from any 89 thru 92 Ranger. Unzip and remove the cover and then unscrew the armrest. Good luck.

 

Yup, found one in the yard off a early model 4dr explorer.

It was the exact same armrest. What a pain to get off though.....

Had to remove the two little covers, and unscrew 2 bolts on either side that hold the base in the console.

sounds easy, but they were in just deep enough to not allow the socket set I had with. had to use a nutdriver, and LOTS of elbow grease.

anyway..... been working fine so far!!! I can see though why many are missing, with any pressure put towards the front of the rest it seems easy to snap off the hinge.

I am going to velcro a block or something in the middle of the rest so I can still put pressure on it and hopefuly not snap it!!!

thanks !

 

Ford put out a replacement to cure the droopy arm rest problem.

I've replaced a couple of those. They're a bit tricky where they attach to the padded part but worth the trouble.
