Hi -- I've found that both driver and passenger door arm rest continuations are loose (the little "bump" in low/mid of picture) --- anyone help me with how to snug them up...?

Other than a trip to the dealer....

Thanks...

I had the same problem. There’s a plastic/rubber piece in the front of that continuation that can be removed by prying with your fingernail or something similar. There’s a bolt underneath that can be tightened so that the continuation no longer moves.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond...I think I can manage that!

Be well,

Thanks for the tip. Adding armrest extension to the text here for those searching for this. Also, the screw has a T25 head.

Just noticed mine is loose again, perhaps some thread glue is in order here?

Take the entire piece off because there is a plastic part that can click in place locating the part closer to the pillar. Then place the screw and tighten. Mine was always sticking out further than necessary.

I had the same problem with the loose armrest extension. Took to dealer because car was still under warranty. Told that it’s a very common issue and poor design. Something on the inside (maybe plastic tabs??) breaks and then it keeps giggling. Mine was replaced under warranty but I had to wait a number of months as part had to come from Germany! Was told by the dealer that Porsche spent a ton on replacing these under warranty on the 970’s. I think it’s been redesigned in the 971’s.

If your car is still under factory warranty I encourage all to check and take to dealer before out of warranty! It wasn’t a cheap replacement part!
