Reasons for the loose rear armrest box lock in Mercedes-Benz E-Class

[Susie]

Mercedes-Benz E-Class rear armrest box not locking tightly is a normal phenomenon. Armrest box: It is a component placed between two car seats, named after its function. Based on living habits, some regions also call it a handrest box. Composition of the armrest box: The uppermost part is called the lid, which connects to the box body. Opening the lid allows placing small items like drinks or phones inside. The middle section is called the box body, mainly consisting of interior panels and an outer covering. The interior panels provide good compression resistance, while the outer covering is usually leather - soft, aesthetically pleasing, and comfortable. The bottom part is called the base, which can be divided into two types based on installation: clip-type and insert-type. Clip-type means the base clips onto the cup holder during installation, making it less prone to detachment. Insert-type refers to the base being directly inserted into the cup holder's hole for fixation.
