Duffy had a great suggestion...

Quote:
Drill a small hole (0.125") thru the aluminum sleeve and plastic insert and push in a small piece of wire, piano, copper or drill rod etc. thru both. Drill straight thru both sides. I assume there is nothing in the hole or the piece doesn't move. If so, then use a small rivet to hold the piece in place.
So - if someone gets around to doing this before my next limp action, let me know how it goes and I will add it to the How to.

I only wonder if the plastic bit doesn't rotate around with the moving of the armrest position...this should be easy enough to investigate once off the car.
