armrest question...

Hey everyone, first Happy Easter!

quick question...I have the quad capt chairs. my driver side armrest is cracking from use/heat etc. the rear drivers side appears to be the same size, can I just swap the front and rear, are they the same....they look like they are. thanks!

I would think the mounting points to the floor may be different so I'd check that 1st.

Maybe you can just remove the seats from their mounts & swap that way

I want to mount some Navigator front seats & center console in my to upgrade it a little

I swapped my driver and passenger armest so now the bottom of my passenger side armrest is the one that is cracked. All you do is slip the leather off slowly the connection end, and it will slide off.......do the same with the other then put it on in reverse order, no need to swap whole seat....

I actually was never talking about swapping seat.....just the armrest itself or the material for the armrest. I'm going to do it, I was just curious if anyone else has already. thanks Hollywood.

I just did this swap yesterday. Took about 10 minutes and now both armrests look like new! Just peel them off, flip them over and then pull them on to the other side.
