Due to rough handling, the armrest/ centre console lid on the wife's 2005 MY W203 is both detached and damaged (not just a simple refit). I think the part number is A2036800882 (it is the one with 1 front button and 1 either side so it can open from the front or from either side). They appear to be hard to source second hand.
Can anyone advise if it is possible to replace with a simple front opening armrest (much more available). The side opening aspect is of little interest. To be clear, the car has the factory fitted UHI phone connector in the tray under the armrest so it would have to work with this.
Also, if an alternative armrest would work, is there much involved in fitting? Would it be a simple "clip in" or does the console have to be taken apart?
Thanks in advance.
