New OEM Armrest - Have I got a faulty one?


Recommended Posts

After some advice from anyone who has fitted the OEM armrest to their Fabia -

 

Mine arrived yesterday and I've started to fit it tonight. Its gone fine until I needed to attach the metal bit that goes between the plastic riser from the floor and the arm rest. It doesn't seem to be threaded yet the instructions show the bolt going through into it, and the bolt isn't a self tapper.

 

Have I either got a faulty one, or am I being thick?

 

I'll try and attach a couple of photos of the hole in question.

 

Cheers!

They should slot together, then theres a bolt which goes between them. It's roughly an m8 i think. 

 

 

Where have you had that from? Have you got a part number? I think mine looks a little different to that, but cant be sure.

It's come from Listers Skoda, via the dealer link at the top of the forum. I think the bolt is an M6, but there isn't any thread.

 

Part number is DAO700001.

I'll check my tap set later - I have an M6, but might need a plug tap as it's a blind hole. Depends how long the bolt is and how much thread I need.

 

If it looks like a non starter, I can just return the single piece that needs tapping rather than posting the whole arm rest back?

I wouldnt touch it personally. If you start and bugger it up, they wont accept it back.

Ring them up, explain and see if theyre happy acceoting just that part back or require the whole thing.

Thanks for the responses. I've decided that it's probably better to return it and wait a week, rather than trying to do it myself and possibly messing it up. After all its an expensive part so I just need to be patient whilst Lister's sorts it for me.
