I went ahead and made a video on how to fix the floppy armrest. It takes about 2 minutes and costs 10¢. We can all argue about how a $40K-$80K+ truck shouldn't need this, or you can shut up and fix it real quick for cheap. If you found it helpful please like and subscribe!

Thank you! I just blamed this behavior on the fact that my driveway is ona slope...

Why not post this in the thread where the fix was actually suggested?

This worked great, except it cost me $0.20. I needed a nickel on the top side of the spring as well as the bottom to get the tension where I wanted it.

I’ve seen it in quite a few different places. Feel free to post it anywhere you like.

Maybe this issue only affects non-work surface or earlier builds. My Nov 21 build with the work surface stands up all by itself. Maybe the factory put two blue pills under there as part of the build ?

thanks for the video. it's really annoying that this issue exists at all.
I'm sure it will be addressed going forward.
As for the armrest itself... seems like a waste of good useable space inside it.

No I have the work surface and if I have the slightest slow forward it won't stay open.
