This may be a stupid question, but I couldn’t find it through searching. Has anyone made a bracket to make the default lower position of the center armrest a little bit higher?

You can also lower your seat to have the same effect.
Sadly the total adjustable range of the seat leaves a bit to be desired. I'm 6' tall and I find both armrests (center and door) just a tad low - not enough to be an issue I'm going to try to do something about, but noticeable. But of course if I were going to do something, I'd make custom pads to layer on top, rather than trying to somehow elongate the pivot arm or....?

Yeah you could buy the AOSK armrest cover and shove a piece of foam under it or something.

This is what I had to do. I'm 6'2" and felt the same way. That didn't 100% resolve the issue but certainly made it better.

Haha, I found this post while searching for a solution. I think someone can 3d print a wedge insert under the armrest. I'll diy something to verify the idea.

I’m glad I am canine and don’t need to worry about stuff like this. ??
