Default New Zeta Arm Rest Pad

New from Zeta is a arm rest pad. If you haven’t already noticed the armrest on the doors of the tC are not very soft at all. On long trips my elbow looks like raw meat

So Zeta invented a new pad for the tC door panel armrest. The install is just as simple as the Zeta knee rest.




First grab your armrest pad


Remove the Velcro stripping off the back


Then remove the safety paper to expose the adhesive


Stick your Velcro where ever you want it, Then place the pad over it and press firmly


Tada!


Matches well with the Zeta knee rest (If only Zeta made seats)

The first version of this was a bit to hard. Zeta softened it up just right. It feels very good on your elbow and provides the right amount of support and cushion. Very good add on for users of the knee rest (Witch by the way has been redesigned a bit See: Zeta Knee Rest Topic) Now if only Zeta could make us some comfy seats!

I can't see this selling. People got their left arm on the wheel and right arm at the shifter most the time, no?

Driving 10+ hours in a stretch...I never rest my arm on there. Usually I drive w/ the hands at 5/7...resting on my legs.

There's definitely a market though...for people that use arm rests...to...hh...rest their arms?

the edges need to be shaved down so it doesn't stick out so much.
i never pay attention to where my arm rests...i think mostly in my lap. but maybe on the door. i might get one

Wow, that sure is ugly.

I never rest my arm there nor do I rest my knee where you stuck the other "thing".
