I can only get it to work for me if I face backwards or if I'm upside down in the drivers seat ... either you're all on drugs or I am ..

Default I fixed the other side, then...
I went to all that trouble to redesign the center glovebox so it will be at a better height for an armrest, and have been thinking that now that it is at a height closser to the arm rest in the door, it is too bad that the door rest on the door is so far away.....
