Default Zeta Products Armrest Installed w/ Pics!

I just got my Zeta Products (www.zetaproducts.net) Adjustable Storage Armrest. It came with all the screws and mounting hardware. It also comes with COLORED detailed instructions!

Install took about 10min. Very Easy, Very Quick. The detailed colored instructions really make it a breeze to put in. All you need it a 7/16" Socket and a Rachet!

The armrest is VERY comfortable. Its made very well and the best is there is storage. I was able to fit my check book, sunglasses, pack of cigs, and there is still more room for a few other little things. The armrest folds up and out of the way and you still have access to the little tray behind the E-Brake Handle.

Here are some pics! ENJOY

The new one just released from Scion does NOT have any storage in the armrest. You also loose the storage tray behind the E-Brake Handle withe the Factory.
With the Zeta Products armrest you get added storage in the armrest, you get the adjustablity and you get to keep the storage tray behind the E-Brake Handle!

I just installed the factory armrest and it works great for me. Sure it covers the little storage tray behind the e-brake, but it has another cup holder on the rear to solve that problem. It does not have the storage in the arm (which I don't really need), but what do you expect for $79. Plus it matches my interrior prefectly.

I liked the fact that it is fully adjustable to like 10 different position up and down. The cool thing is that when its in the UP position its locked in, so you don't have to worry about it falling down if you want it up. You just push a tab and it lowers with ease! AND you get more storage AND you get to keep your existing storage.

It looks identical to the stock armrest in the Volkswagen New Beetles. At least with the little tab and locking positions and stuff.

That's one of the things I truly miss about my Newbie. Gonna have to get me one of these, for sure.

After another day of driving and driving to work this morning no Scion is complete without an armrest ... You guys that still don't have an armrest don't know what you are missing ... I would suggest this to anyone ... It makes the drive SO much better! This has to be the most pratical and useful mod you can do!
