I need to see it, but I think I will be getting one of those.

Does it block the use of the emergency brake, some of you say yes and others haven't commented on it?

I have not noticed a problem with getting to the e-brake.

Default E-Brake access xB

Hi,

I wouldn't say it gets in the way of the emergency brake, but whatever arm actions you used to use, you will likely have to modify them once the OEM armrest is in place.

For me, sometimes I reach all the way over the armrest to get at the brake handle/release, or I simply put the armrest up. I guess it will depend on how long your arms are etc...

I prefer the arm rest being there, than no armrest. THAT is my bottom line.

Skylab: if you think about it, everyday use in your car isn't that rigorous. Tail lights can shatter if they're dropped 6", but they're not breaking all over the place. The UPS people probably tossed your armrest around quite a bit. Your car doesn't see that kind of turbulence.

I'm waiting to sit in a car with one of these to see whether or not to sell my tBlizzard and get one of these.

I have an auto so I see no emergency brake problems.
I wish it were adjustable.
It's a bit low.

looks great feels stong.

and I used my 50 buck scion gift certificate so it only cost me 29 bucks plus shipping.

worth it.

I have this Scion armrest and don't like it. It's nice looking and sturdy but for my height, it sits too low. In fact, if anyone is interested in buying mine, let me know.

You, sir, need the adjustable Zeta armrest.

Keep in mind I still have a slightly used non-storage Zeta I will sell cheap. I just haven't got off my butt to take pics and post an ad.

I actually did just get in the Zeta and installed it. I like it better because is sits higher and I am better able to rest my arm on it. Both look good but the Zeta is higher and a little wider.

^^^ Do you get paid by Zeta to say that, or is that an honest view?

I'm just curious. Sponsors make some views seem, well, bought.

Not that I'm saying that is always true...just sometimes.

I only pimp stuff I really like. I've actually sent stuff back that I didn't care for even though it was free. I may be a ***** for free stuff, but I'm a high-end *****.

If anyone actually tries both armrests, I can't see how they would like the Scion armrest better. It's substantially lower, narrower and no storage. The good news is that it also looks good, is sturdy and much cheaper to purchase. It could be totally suitable for maybe anyone 5'8" or shorter. My hardly used Scion armrest is available and I'm asking $60 plus shipping or best offer.
