Re: [doc] Anyone got experience of fitting DMCH's arm rest caps?

[Martin Gutkowski - DMC Ltd <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The original design of the armrest had it as a seperate piece from the 
interior quarter panel. These had a habit of breaking off too easily, 
and also wearing down. The caps were a solution to the wearing problem, 
but the breaking off was fixed on later cars with replacement interior 
quarter panels where the armrest extension was a one-piece molding that 
couldn't break off. Being made from the same heat-formed plastic as 
opposed to stitched vinyl renders the caps a bit redundant (in theory). 
You have a late car that probably has the single piece moldings and 
shouldn't need the caps - you can fit them anyway but they will need 
trimming as you say

Is it meant to be like this?  I could trim the edge off and that should sort it out, just wondering if you guys have any experience of the items!
