IND F87 M2 Alcantara Custom Stitched Armrest DIY
IND F87 M2 Alcantara Custom Stitched Armrest DIY Tools Required: Needle nose pliers Vice Grips Nylon pry tool/Pry tool Step 1: Using the nylon pry tool, carefully pop the rear trim off. There are two electrical connectors attached- one for the rear cigarette lighter and the other for the rear vent. Step 2: Remove electrical connectors. Step 3: Next take your vice grips and remove the two dowel pins, one on each side. Step 4: Put the armrest in the up position, then pull the spring clip out with the needle nose pliers. Step 5: The armrest is now free for removal. Step 6: Installation is just the reverse of removal. Place the new armrest in the up position for the spring to clip in correctly. Step 7: Push the dowell rods back into place. Step 8: Re-attach the electrical connectors. Step 9: Pop the rear trim cover back into place. Enjoy!!

I love how it looks, but it doesn't do well where it gets fondled.

I'm an IT guy by trade and tech nerd by choice. I like HPDEs, parts of US Hwy 129, NC 28, and the Cherohala Skyway. I'm also a fan of aural pleasure. |

Can your team make a merino leather option, upgrading the interior on the F87 but the M3/M4 armrest doesn't clip down. I think Alcantara will not wear well. |

alcantara does fine if maintained frequently. I like to brush mine and clean mine with an alcantara cleaner once a week
