Repairing rear arm rests

Word of warning on the repo convert arm rest pads

The spring metal tabs are made of a brittle metal.

My first set when I pressed it into the slots one tab snapped off. (I can put the originals in and out all day long with no issues)

ABC sent me a new set and I was super careful putting it in. Snap.

I ended up making my own tabs and they stay in ok.

Thanks for that word of warning ... I just bought a pair and am having them wrapped and sticked with highlight thread. Will be installing them in a few weeks, but the rear quarter panels will be off, so perhaps I can baby them in from behind with more success (fingers crossed)
