Armrest Mechanism For Left Seat

Citroën Xsara Picasso, Berlingo II And III, Peugeot Partner II And III, 307
Color HZQ – Grey Zephir (Zephyre)
This armrest mechanism is a direct-fit replacement designed for the driver’s left seat on a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. Identified frequently by part number 883098 (NFP), it restores locking and pivot functionality to the foldable armrest, improving driver comfort and ergonomics. The robust mechanical assembly secures the armrest in both stowed and deployed positions and is built to integrate with the original upholstery and seat frame mounting points.
Ideal For Professional Garages And DIY Enthusiasts: The unit is suitable for mechanics and self-repairing car owners who search by product code or vehicle model. Installing a correct armrest mechanism returns proper support for the driver’s arm during long trips and reduces unwanted noise or play caused by a worn latch or pivot.
