Here is a little clarification about Smart car Armrests.
As far as we know there are two armrests available for the smart car. The one we offer and the less expensive version that some other vendors offer.
The one we offer does not have a storage area, the other less expensive one does. If storage is more important to you, then the other one would probably work better for you.
What else is different?
The one we offer is a high quality piece that is fully adjustable, covered in leather to match all smart car interiors and is held in place by a sturdy metal bracket that is bolted to the drivers side seat frame. You do not need to drill any holes, they are already on your seat frame (reach around with your hand and you will feel them). The bracket bolts to the seat and is SOLID. It is not held in place by a plastic base that screws in to the carpet, like the other.
On the pics they both look great, but if you see them side by side there is NO comparison. We had over 50 smart owners try them out at the LA Auto show and EVERY single one of them loved it.
So, to summarize.... Yes, the one we offer is more money and to some it is seems expensive. However, we would rather explain why it costs more once, rather than continuously apologize for the poor quality when the product fails to do what is was designed to do.
Right now the one we offer is the best in the market and we will not offer the "other" armrest due to a number of our customers personal feedback on the item and our own experience. Once another manufacturer designs and manufactures a quality one at a lower cost (anyone?) we will gladly offer other options. At this time these seem to be the two options.
Thank you....
