Baleno - Center Armrest for Driver seat

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to get a center armrest for the front-seat in Baleno? Some people say Baleno already has armrest for driver, but i find its too far back and i cannot keep my arm on it.

So if there is anything good armrest available (sliding type preferred) in bangalore, please let me know.

cheers.

Well i found the front armrest for the baleno quite good actually , however at times while powershifting the elbow does get a good impact .. If u want an arm rest u could check with most of the shops at J.C.Road or contact Car Fancy next to koramangala fab mall .. Anwar should be able to fabricate one for u ..

I too find it ok .. guess it's because I sit with the seat pushed back quite a distance. I would actually prefer if the gear lever was located say an inch behind the current position

i find the current arm rest ok as well. i am abt 5'7" and sit way back too. it eventually boils down to your driving position and what you are comfortable with. i think tucson provides the sliding arm-rest you are talking about. how about checking if you can get that in their accessories division? not quite sure if it'll fit into baleno though.

I have seen the sliding arm rest in the higher version of the Hyundai Accent as well, i think its the GLS version which has ABS and stuff. Its pretty neat and useful coz its tucked into the side of the front drivers seat itself rather than being plonked in between the 2 front seats like the one in the Baleno. I find it an obstacle in my Baleno since it bangs into my elbow badly when i shift gears. BTW, i stand at exactly 6 feet.

Cheers
