After 58,000 miles, my drivers seat in my 98 SE decided that a more practical driving position is lying as far back as the seat will allow, giving me a great view of the dome light. I found a seat at a junk yard for $75, but the cloth is really messy. I took the car to the dealer for an estimate, and they quoted $405 just to replace the recliner adjuster. So that option is out. For some reason, even the "mechanics" at the dealership had no clue as to how to remove the armrest from the seat. The only option I can think of is to cut the d@mn thing off with a hacksaw. Is there a way to remove the armrest, or am I stuck with rust stains from the "new" seat for ever? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
