Installation of the Armrest
We had some visitors from the Netherland at our regular smart meetings. The "Smart-Man" opened his door- and what did I see? An Armrest! Imro realized that I was enthusiasted at it and showed me an orange armrest with original-smart-cloth. Tina saw the orange armrest and so she was thrilled to bits. So, I searched in Datteln for an ATM. Well, here are the photos of the installation. It took about 1 hour because I had to see how to dismantle the driver's seat.

At the back of the driver's seat you have to turn down the little flaps. |
| Here you can see how the cover is taken off its hinges. |  |

From close up. |
| By pulling slightly I released the side upholstery from the seat. |  |
 |
Here are the 2 fixing flaps turned down from the seat and the seat cover is released. |
| Another point of view. |  |

In order not to scratch the seat while drilling, I simplified matters by sticking marking tape on and marked the holes. |
| Now the 8mm-holes are drilled; you can screw on the armrest. |  |
 |
Here, the armrest is screwed on. And now in reverse order you have to put the seat together. |
| The following photos show the armrest from different angles. |  |

You can also fold the armrest upward. |
