I just bought a supposedly perfect set of front armrests (in the color I needed believe it or not) with all hardware for my 280SE on ebay. My car was not originally delivered with them. Anyone know if this should be an easy install? Just wondering if all front seats were the same and under the upholstery is a place for attachment. I was going to the trim shop in a few days to have the backs repadded anyway so thought they could be installed at that time. Any comments much appreciated.

I seem to remember that they bolt to the side of the seat on the angle frame that connects the back and seat cushion, but would have to check to see for sure.

I've got my new leather ready for the driver's seat anyway, maybe I will do this next weekend.
