We initially wanted to buy the Impreza 2.5 RS, which had neither the extended armrest nor the spoiler, but were told that none of the 65 New England Subaru dealers had that model -- only the OBS special edition.
Problem is that my wife bangs her elbow on the extended armrest every time she shifts into 2nd or 4th. This was never a problem with the '02 model that lacked this feature, since the armrest never sat high enough to obstruct the movement of the shifting arm.
So I want to ditch that extension, but there's a problem. I can't just remove the lid on the top section and put it on the bottom section, because the latch point is different.
I'm afraid that I'll need to by parts for the 2.5 RS and try to use them as a replacement.
Anyone else experienced this problem or identified a workaround? For now we're just flipping back to top section while driving the car, but there's got to be something easier than that.
