Haven't had my 93' Corolla DX very long, I love it. My only problem with it is the lack of an armrest................are there any models that came with them that I could scour salvage yards to get one to put in mine?

armrest.....sheeesh, it isnt a lounge sofa, you're supposed to be driving not getting that gangsta-lean on

who wants to lean............. I have a bad back and it helps me on long trips give me a place to support my arm which in turns help support my lower back..............prob sounds funny to some of you younger guys who don't have back problems...........

So how old are you? -Just wondering...

Better supporting seats might be a better idea than an armrest, corolla seats are horrible in their ergonomy anyways.

not that old..................figured you were like 18-20. I am 30 and injured my back a few years ago on the job. Any factory toyota seats bolt up in the corolla that are more ergonomic?

I took the arm rest cushion outta a gen4 Camry (97-02) and stuck it between the seats. It fits tight and the seats can still move freely without worry and I still have easy access to my glasses (which is about all you can keep in that spot).

some jdm ae10x's came with compartment lids ... tho you'd have to import the entire center console from Japan or the Philippines or somewhere.

I have that compartment lid on my AE92....

You can also try to get an Armrest from an 88-91 Corolla GTS coupe, it should work the GTS armrest is taller than the SR5 so it would probably be a better choice for you.

I'm actually thinking that, I never use my armrest that much its actually too far back from the seat to really be useful, then again the Corolla GTS comes with inflatable lumbar support on the seats so it really doesn't make a difference.

I found this from a same generation Prism. It screws into the same 3 holes as the console. Its the wrong color, but it helps my 30+ year old back!

its nice to at least have a cover on the lil' shit pit in the console.

lol

do the 9th generation corollas have that silly sunglass holder in the console cover like my 8th does? everytime that cover falls the sunglass holder comes loose and dumps whatever is in it into the console. if youre easy with it though the sunglass holder stays in place, but I like to slam things.

if theyre going to have a sunglass holder it should be in the roof above the rearview mirror like our honda oddysee van has, thats a much better place for it.

I've seen some Corollas come with that stock. I'm sure with a bit of looking you can find it.
