The last week or so I've been getting a sore right shoulder.

Today on the way to work I flipped up the center arm rest so I wouldn't lean on it.
WOW....
It was amazing how much more comfortable my driving position was.
Much more space & the shifter felt way more comforable as well. I don't know why I didn't try this B4.

I'm really thinking seriously about moding the arm rest now, to lower the height.

I think this situation is related to how low the seat is set.
I'm 6' & need the seat pretty low, so may not be a problem for others.

Out of interest you should give it a try.
Flip up the arm rest on the way home & see how much more space you have.

 

Now that you mention it...

I notice the armrest gets in the way of my right arm during extereme steering. My elbow hits it as I turn right. I am also >6' tall. never thought to raise the armrest, I usually just steer with one hand (left) instead.

 

I definitely notice it getting in the way pretty often too. I'm about 6'3 so I have the seat pretty low down and angled back so I have some good head and leg room. The armrest does get in the way of my elbow sometimes though. I guess theres nothing you can really do about it except taking it off or always leaving it up when you drive..

 

I think I'll drive with it up for a couple of days to see if I still feel the same way.
I know a custom interior shop just down the street that did some great work for me
before to repair a torn seat (not the G).
I'll see what they think about making a thiner arm rest.

It gets somewhat complicated by the rear seat air duct, but I was thinking about getting an arm rest (from wreckers maybe) & cutting it down then get it reapolstered.
I'm not sure yet, though.

 

i don't think i want to change the height. it fits a box of kleenex... perfect height. and you know... kleenex for those... *ahem* certain times. HAHAHA

I'm 6'1" and it hasn't been a problem for me.

 

i think its comfortable and im 6'

 

Ditto for me, no issues whatsoever!

 

sucks to be 6 ft i guess...

 

maybe adjust the seat some and it will be okay

 

but we're the first to know when it rains! (unless we're standing next to kareem..)
