Universal Armrest V2 (black)

Description

Universal armrest V2 by Niken — a black armrest between the front seats for cars that do not have a factory armrest. ABS plastic body, the lid flips up, with a small-items compartment underneath; the kit includes the armrest and a mounting set of brackets, installation — according to the instructions.

What’s included and what the armrest looks like

• Armrest: black ABS plastic body; the lid lifts up, inside — a shallow compartment for a phone, keys, documents.
• Mounting kit: metal bracket plates with rows of holes and a base on which the armrest is installed.
• Manufacturer: Niken.
• Color: black — matches most dark interiors.

The rows of holes in the brackets are needed to adjust the armrest position to your interior: the height relative to the seats and the forward-backward offset.

Which cars the universal armrest fits

The armrest is not tied to a specific make and model — it is installed in cars where there is free space between the front seats on the tunnel or console. But “universal” does not mean it will fit any interior without a test fit. Before ordering, check a few things:

1. Measure the width between the seats and the length of the free section of the console — the armrest must sit straight without pressing against the seats.
2. Check whether it will interfere with the handbrake, seat belt buckles, cup holder, USB/AUX ports, or the console storage pocket.
3. Check whether the seat can be slid fully back when the armrest is installed, and whether it is convenient to reach the gear lever.

If there is a vehicle-specific armrest for your model, it will fit more precisely than a universal one; if not — the universal V2 gets the job done when the interior has been checked by dimensions.

How the V2 armrest is installed

The brackets from the kit are fastened to the console or tunnel between the seats, then the base and the armrest itself are installed on them. The work sequence — per the instructions. First test-fit the armrest without tightening, sit in the driver’s seat, check whether your arm rests comfortably and whether it interferes with the handbrake and belts, and only then tighten the fasteners all the way. After installation, the armrest must not wobble: if there is play, choose other holes in the brackets.

What other universal armrests are available

If you need an additional function, compare V2 with other options: universal armrest V1 (black), armrest with cup holder (black) or armrest with USB (black). All universal models in different colors are collected on the page universal armrests.

How to care for it

Wipe the lid with a damp wipe or an interior plastic care product, without abrasives or solvents. Do not place heavy items on the lid and do not lean on it with your full weight when getting out of the car — this way the mounting will stay tight longer.
