I would like to fit a front seat armrest to my '94 w124. I have been offered one from a W126 in the correct colour but I am not sure if this will fit the W124 seat. Can anybody tell me if this will fit my seat ? Thanks for any help.

Dear Dec,

I woulldn't know the answer but I remember a German website explaining how to instal the armrest on a W 124.
Do you want me to find it back ( if it's still existing ) ?
There were some good pictures so maybe you could make a comparison between your W126 and the original armrest.

Well, as happens often, looking for something other, I found back the German website mensioned before.
I hope this will help you out !

Thanks Danny.

The problem is that I don't have the W126 armrest to hand to compare to my existing W124 item. The guy selling the W126 one is in the U.K. (I'm in Ireland) and if I go ahead and buy it, to discover that it dos'nt fit, then I'm stuck with it !!! The actual fitting of the armrest is not the problem as long as it is compatable.

I tried looking at that German Website but it appears not to be operational.

Many thanks for your help.

Dec.
