Westy Bench Seat Arm Rest - How do you remove?

Post by mitchellsfold »

So... tried Wiki / Search but couldn't find the answer...

I am trying to remove the nearside upholstered arm rest next to the bench/bed on my Westy.

I can get it to wiggle up and down but not wrestle it free..

I have removed the kitchen / low gas cupboard but need to get the cushion off so I can remove the card to access the metal work for repair and respray!

Help?

Look for screw in bottom right corner. May be easier to pull out the bed but I think you can just get to it with the backrest up.
