I have an LE V6 and desperately want to add a sliding center armrest as found in XLE model. Can anyone share any experiences relative to this, tell me if I can easily make the conversion, if the part is available anywhere other than a dealer and at what cost? Is the version in the Hybrid the same as the XLE? Thanks
update Sept 14- I went to my local dealer and they can not help me. they explained that the part is a special order so I must pay and no refunds for a part which they can not be certain will fit. I asked for the part number so that I could do some research to determine if it would fit and was told they can not provide that to me. This is absurd.

 

I just bought a 2010 XLE (with a little help from the President---one of those cash for clunker deals) and I love the sliding armrest. As far as I am concerned the armrest feature is as important as any other feature of the car. You might try some junkyards--everything is computerized and they might be able to tell you over the phone if they have one on the lot, or if they can locate one for you. Good luck!!
