    aftermarket arm rest / console cubby for Micra S

    The Micra S doesn't come with an arm rest. IMPUL posted this one in his garage that he got from eBay.

    It's the type that mounts in the rear cup holder in the center console:

    From the eBay ad:

    Black ABS body with black fabric top

    Made for:

    - NISSAN MARCH MK4 K13 (2010-2015)
    - NISSAN MICRA MK4 K13 (2010-2015)


    • Nicely covered with soft damping pads
    • Swivel/Lift up mechanism with 14 positions
    • Internal carpeted storage compartment
    • All necessary fasteners for assembly will be delivered
    • itting into the storage compartment behind the handbrake
    • Complete retrofit kit
    • Quick and easy assembly
    Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251884945822

    Its not cheap though: looks like about $71 plus $35 shipping. There are cheaper ones available that look similar, but don't specifically say they're for the Micra.

    I had one, and it rubbed the **** outta my cupholder. I was afraid that it was going to break just from the weight of my arm. (I'm not a fat guy, pretty normal sized actually). I put it in the pile of other crap that I've tried, and disliked. Caveat Emptor. I did however, really like the extra little storage cubby in it.

    You mean it wasn't a snug fit? Was that the problem?

    FYI the only thing holding the centre console at the rear cupholder is two plastic push in clips.

    Aha - so, not exactly the most stable foundation for a cantilevered plastic "tower".

    No its not the snuggest fit i stuffed 2 mech. Gloves to help it stay put.
    I use some rubber thing to make it stay, maybe a dab of silicone or something.
