I need to get a set for Garrett's car as his arm rests are broken. So are mine in my S4 but his comes first. Where are they available???

Rob Edwards

Nicole's got the Jager kits:

I got mine from 928 intl. The one they sell is the best.

Door armrest backing support at 928 International.

That's where I got mine a few years ago. I'll be they'll work just fine if I ever get around to installing them.

Edit: (Wow... 3 responses at the same minute! Is this a helpful forum, or what?)

I can also say that the Loctite Plastic Bonder Epoxy is quite good for repairing cracked/disintegrated Porsche black plastic. I've had good luck with this stuff when attaching sheet metal and such for rebuilding center console tabs, and also with a bit of furnace tape (aluminum foil tape) to cover one side of a hole and then fill in with the epoxy. Once cured, the tape can be removed, and the epoxy drills and grinds well.

Thanks guys...don't know why I could not find them. That helps a lot.

Dean_Fuller

Thats good to know. I may give this a try first and try to save the money.

Got mine from Nicole...very happy with it and you can buy the doors individually... normally the passenger door is fine, usually the drivers door is the one that is busted...

I have installed both types of kits and prefer the one Roger sells.

Why?

Jadz928

What?

jwillman

The one I got from Roger has tabs that attach to the mounting studs on the inside of the armrest for the hand hold portion of the arm rest. 928 Motorsports has what appears to be the same version and pics on there website.

Just seemed like a better attachment method than the other one piece kit I had previously installed for another owner which relies on holes drilled through the old armrest plastic exclusively.

I had cracked plastic about midway so the two piece kit did not seem to be the best option for me.

928Intl kit

Looks like the same kit. Are all three the same now?

I did the 928I kit and liked the result. You grab the handle and it's a very solid feel. I did have to modify the door panel insert piece to fit afterwards. I would change the bracket next time.

On my other 928, the driver's door handle is feeling a bit soft. I'll probably be in the market for this again.

I reinforced my door panel with model airplane fiberglass and CA glue.

Does anyone think they can't duplicate what these vendors are selling for over $80, with less than $5 of sheet metal from the local hardware store or HomeDepot?

GlenL

I do the door panels with automotive body fibreglass cloth and epoxy, too. Helps to have that 1-hour stuff in some cases for complicated, multi-layer reinforcements.

$80 doesn't seem like a lot for being able to focus on the problem and not spend time shears, drills and nice try #3. I'm an enthusiast for "making it work" but think these are a good way to go for broken arm rests.
