arm rest ?

[ratrapp]

my passenger arm rest pulled loose the other day from the top of the door.i unbolted the armrest and there is a metel clip that goes on the end of the threads that was broke.i called teamcherokee and they said they had the clips.2 weeks later they sent me the plastic inserts that goes in the door where the broke metal clip attatches to.the picture teamcherokee shows for a new armrest doesn't show this clip and they don't know what i'm talking about.does anybody have a clue on this one?

Does the armrest still bolt on ?

Mine had a little plastic shim , but that fell off , only one side had that on there , I lost it though . :dunno:

my plastic shim is new but there is a clip that fits on the threads of the armrest.this isnt the bottom where 2 screws hold it on,it's the top of armrest.

Are you talking about the hockey stick style armrests? You mean the clip that is inside the door where you insert the threaded screw before you twist the armrest down to screw the bottom two screws to the door? If so, the junkyard is your best bet. I forgot to grab one of them clips when I pulled some black door panels for a friend when he switched from reg style armrests to the hockey stick style. I can ask him what he used to fix the problem, I think he used something besides the original clip. I will PM him now

 

EDIT: He said he used a larger plastic plate screw clip. Like the ones used on bumpers.

i've got the plastic clip that goes in the door.yes i do have the hockey style,i just need the metal clip that goes in the plastic clip.

I'm not sure what metal clip you're talking about? The parts comanche that I have probably has it.

if you have the hockey style armrest there is a threded stud at the top of the armrest.when you take the 2 screws out of the bottom of the armrest you have to rotate the armrest to remove it,unless the clip has broke that sets on the threaded stud.it locks in a plastic insert in the door which i have new ones for.if you have a good one,i'll gladly buy the whole armrest(color doesn't matter at this point).

The clip holds the threaded rod in so it doesnt come out of the door when you pull the door closed with the grab handle on the hockey stick style arm rests

[ratrapp]

that's exactly what i'm talking about.does anyone know if new armrests come with the clips?

I'm sure I have thse in my parts Jeep, but it is 50 miles away. If you get desperate and can't find them anywhere else let me know and I'll grab them the next time I visit my wreak.
