Does anyone have the diagram for the armrest assembly on the rear console? Mine broke on one side and it's not held together by a hinge; looks like straps.

I have seen one place online selling a repair hinge advertised as better than OEM.

I've considered this. Kinda spendy, but it seems well made, and raising that armrest wouldn't be a bad thing.

It doesn't really look like a hinge.

Didn't see a kit on pelicanparts.com - does anyone have a diagram from Porsche parts that I can magnify? I can't really see the part on the diagram that Mavthenav linked me to.

Easy install with the repair kit, do not need to remove the console to do it like they say. You will need a drill and a rivet gun. DO not let that scare you it is pretty easy. Do a search on here or sixspeed and someone has a great write up. Rivet gun on ebay was $9.00.

Changed over to a hinge and did not use the strap again

You are correct, +1.

Ooo hey. Mine just cracked a few weeks ago too. Been meaning to ask about it, thanks for taking care of that for me.

Thanks, I ordered the kit. I was searching under "armrest repair kit".

You're welcome, it's a cheap but strong fix.
