Front seat armrest

[TheWidup]

Hey all - I'm debating a Defender to add to the collection. I'm curious about the front seat adjustable arm rests. They aren't offered as an option yet I see them being sold online as aftermarket and it looks like a direct install. Are the seats ready for those already and LR just doesn't offer them or is this a limit for the US models?

Here's an example listing for the aftermarket adjustable Armrests

The OEM seats do not have the arm rest mounting hardware.

Any chance you can feel the connection point through the seat covering? I'm wondering if maybe they just didn't offer this yet left it buried behind the cover

Well, I answered my own question via some digging. The hardware is in the seats and you have to pull them to install them.

From the video, you have to add the mounting bracket.

True but they include the bracket and it looks like it's just a bolt in. Not without a little frustration to install but at least it's an option

Is that an L322 Range Rover armrest? Looks like it. Hmm.

This is interesting. I was in my L663 today, and then got out and drove my 2000 Discovery II, and was immediately thinking "I wish the Deefer had a little armrest like the Disco has"
