Sliding Arm Rest??
Hey I was wondering ifg your arm rests slide forward over thecup holders. Mine do, Ive always ment to ask but always forgot. It seems normal and it gives your arm a place to rest for SS mode. Is thisa genius innovation or a broken arm rest? Thanks!

It's a genius invention. Comes in handy for comfort on long trips. Had it in my 2G TL as well.

However, do note that there is a bit more "play" in the armrest as you slide it to its most forward position due to the "levering" effect. I only slide it forward to it's first position to minimize this. If this should not be the case, than someone please tell me so I can get mine fixed at the dealer

It's OK in the middle position where it only covers one of the drink holders. But if you pull it all the way forward, it will move downwards about 1 to 2 mm when I lean my elbow on it. It's almost as though there is a little play in the tracks.
