Thanks, John, and you were correct: online for $158. Mine is leather, however, and that's about $20 more, and it does not look like the hinge and slider assembly is available separately. Did it appear to you that the hinge and slider assembly would have worked with your original standard armrest lid ?

If you look at the underside of the original lid you will see a depression where if you have tall items in the bin underneath use can use this extra space. In the sliding armrest pictures I posted, you'll see that the underside is flat to contain the rolling mechanism.
They also use a thicker spring to compensate for the extra weight. It's strong enough that if I forget to close the lid and drive off, I don't get hit by the lid wanting to close the first time I hit the brakes (which did happen once with the original armrest

thanks! I saw that but was not sure if that was the right one. Now the question is does it come with the sliding system. meaning if i bought that one is it just plug n play? can I just unbolt the old one and bolt this one on?

Perhaps John312 could confirm.

And, I probably will go the extra $ for the leather. That way I will be sure it will work, and I'll wind up with a spare armrest cover to put on for resale if I wear one out.

Yeah I will do the leather as well so it will match right. Good idea about keeping the original one as a spare, I was thinking i would sell it on ebay but maybe keeping it is a better idea.
