Excessive force applied to the arm rest in the downward position when exiting the vehicle from the rear seats, can cause the white plastic guide pins
and/or the shaft to shear off.
As of October 1987, a modified rear seat arm rest is installed. The shaft for the arm rest stop was lengthened a total of 4 mm (2 mm on either side).

Previous version:

In case of complaints of the arm rest rotating downward beyond the stop position, install the modified version arm rest and guide pins.
