    This is too funny on all Gen 3s that I see including the one-eyed drive and own actually the two 2010 and 13 The armrest which is pinned by plastic wells I think four or five of them on each arm rest hold it to the plastic part of the door panel and I'm guessing when fat people lean their full weight on the armrest right regularly like to pull their pants up and that kind of nonsense these plastic welds break pop pop off of the door panel part not off the armrest the armrest plastic circles are still in perfect shape The weld is broken on the back of the door panel so I need three four door panels so I can fix them while the ones in my car stay and then I'll put the ones I just fixed on and fix the other for and put them in the shop it's a real pain in the nice person anytime you lean your arm on the armrest it makes a big flopping noise and the armrest tries to sink into the hole where the armrest is pinned
