K14 owners tend to be too posh to post here, never mind actually work on a car.

In reality I imagine most are on PCP with owners scared to do anything but drive them.

I’m a K14 owner and would also like to know how to fit a OEM armrest. And I’m far from posh.

I’ve not fit one in my car but looking at the images of it I would say you need the centre console out to fit the bracket. Easier enough to take out it has 2 clips at the back next to the inner seat rails. Pop off the footwell trims and should be some T20 screws, then remove gear lever gator trim and there maybe some more torx 20 screws behind there and it should be pretty much off.

I would imagine if it’s a genuine arm rest you are fitting it will come with the arm rest. Any issues with it just post and I will try help out what I can.

I can't see how to remove the gear lever trim on an automatic. You'd have to remove the knob with all it's push button gear.

I think you can remove the gear knob by sliding a trim down on the bottom of it and then there is a little circlip that holds it on pull that off and it should just lift off which will allow you to get the trim out. Mine is a manual so I’m unable to check it against that.

York - your right, I had a look and the bottom plastic bit pulls down (not the silver bit) and at the back there is a clip. I haven't pulled the clip yet because I'm not ready to install the armrest. Thanks for setting me on the right track. I'll report on the install when complete in a week or two.

 

[Phil GK]

Yep once the clip is out the Auto knob comes off complete. It's a bit fiddly getting the clip back in and tucked in so the sleeve slides fully up.

That’s great was it easy enough to install then?

I wouldn't say the whole job was easy. The auto gear knob off was the easy bit once you know how (thanks). It's struggle to get the centre console out mainly because the handbrake gets in the way but a bit of a shove and it comes out. Also the rear bolt for the arm rest is almost impossible to fit because it's at an angle down a hole and you need a flexible cranked torx screwdriver (whose got one of them) I used a slotted bolt which fitted and done it up best I could, it's tight enough. It's not a job for the faint hearted.
