How to Remove the Armrest Box of Sylphy?
2 Answers
First, open the cover of the armrest box and remove the cotton pad at the bottom. Next, remove the screws at the bottom of the armrest box. Shift the gear to the N position, then hold the gear lever and lift it upwards. Then, use a pry tool to release the clips at the edges of the armrest box. Once all the clips at the edges of the armrest box are released, you can lift the armrest box.
I've disassembled the Sylphy's center armrest twice by myself. First, clear out all the clutter inside the armrest, especially at the bottom, to make the operation easier. After opening the lid, you'll find two rubber gaskets at the bottom—gently pry them out with a pry tool or your fingernails to reveal the Phillips screws underneath. When unscrewing, make sure to align the angle correctly to avoid stripping the screws. After removing the screws, don't yank it forcefully; instead, support the entire armrest and slide it backward evenly. The three front clips are made of plastic and are very fragile. Once, I was in a hurry and broke one, costing me 50 yuan to replace. After opening it up, you'll see accumulated dust and cigarette ash inside—cleaning it out with a vacuum is oddly satisfying. When reassembling, first align the clip grooves with the tracks until you hear a click to ensure they're securely fastened. Finally, remember to cover the screws back with the rubber gaskets for a neat finish.
