Guys

I google'd through and found a contact who would make head rests and arm rests in bangalore, i am planning to visit his place tomorrow to get it done on my zen will update the thread with the work quality and etc. As per my phone conversation he said he will charge 1100 rs for drivers arm rest and 300 rs per head rest ie., it comes to 600 rupees for a pair of head rests including labour.

Pls Note: i am noway linked to the below shop and right now i am not sure the condition of the work carried by the below people, just a caution!

Hi Chella,

Did you get the armrest done for your car? Please post your feedback, as I am very eagerly waiting to get this done for my i10.

regards,
Phani

Its a tiny shop near Kuallappa circle in Kammanahalli. This guy makes an armrest which is attached to the sides of the front seats, not the ones that are fixed in between the front seats behind the brake lever. Its very similar to the arm rests you find on the push-back seats in buses.

It is just a piece of wood covered with foam and rexine/fabric and is screwed onto the sides of each seat. It can be swivelled vertically.

He quoted Rs. 1200 for one armrest. Not the type I expected, so i didnt get it fixed.

Hi

The shop looked too small and i didnt feel confident to go on with the work at this shop. Between he has shown me Volvo buses handrest

and said he will fix it so i dropped the idea.

Exactly fella, just what we are looking for. Lol

Finally, I have fixed the front arm rest for my Esteem

I found this guy, Imran, who offered to fix it for me but he told me that he has to do some alterations to the coin holder behind the hand brake. Took him about 45 minutes to do a little bit of cutting and filing of the coin holder and then he quickly used some black screws to secure the arm rest.

Neat job done, no rattling or shaking of the arm rest. Its very securely fixed and he did a good job.

and no, it does not interfere with gear shifting or using the handbrake.

It cost me Rs. 1800/- including fixing.

Contact Imran at: 98458 69801

Prabhu Reddy Bldg, 100 ft road, 10th main, Annareddy Layout, Dodda Banaswadi, Bangalore.
Ph: 080 4174 1900

This is on the road that goes from the Banaswadi main road to the new underpass at Horamavu Junction on the outer ring road.

So all ye esteemers, go and get one fixed. It is utter bliss on long drives.

and this is my car:

Hi kairalee, can you tell me if the same can be done on the zen? how good is the guy? i do not have any cup holders so where is the arm rest fixed...is it on the seat or the floor?

Kairalee · 13th January 2010, 18:09

I am not really sure how it can be fixed in your Zen if there is no cup holder. This arm rest has a stub kind of thing which fits into the cup holder and then screws hold it in place there. Fixing it directly to the floor may not be a good idea.

Anyways, this guy Imran is quite resourceful and he'll surely find a way to get a clamp fixed to the floor and then fix the arm rest onto the clamps. He may charge you a bit more for the clamps and fixing maybe.

Best of luck and let us know if you get it fixed.
