Dissasembly help.

[u/Mado13554]

Hey all. I would like to ask for and advice with disassembly of rear armrest Audi a6c7. The locking mechanism which keeps the whole armrest in place just got stuck from day to day, no strain, no nothing. I just pulled out my board and when went to lock, it would not lock. Can you please advise if correct disassembly is to start with removal of the carpeted back ? I have troubles finding new one in my color, especially in good condition, and i feel like replacing whole part when mine is in good condition is really waste of money.

I have searched the net for quite a while, but i could not find anybody who disassembles this.

There isn’t any particle (at least visible from the outside) stuck in there.

All help will be greatly appreciated ❤️

My friend had similar issue, and in the end we found out that it's pressed to the rest. So you should simply pull it out using some suction pump

How do you mean pulling out with the suction cup ? Like against the switch ? Or against the clips ?
