Description
Driver’s armrest for the left seat for Citroën and Peugeot models. Fully functional and undamaged; may be lightly soiled.
Product Overview
OEM-style driver armrest designed for the left/front seat, offering comfortable forearm support for daily driving and workshop use. Manufactured to fit a range of Citroën and Peugeot vehicles from the Stellantis group, this unit is a direct replacement for worn or damaged armrests and is suitable for mechanics and experienced DIYers who perform interior repairs.
Compatibility And Fitment
- Typical Fitment: Citroën Berlingo II & III, Citroën Xsara Picasso, Citroën C3; Peugeot 307, Peugeot Partner II & III.
- Part Number: 883007 (as supplied).
- Note: Check visual match of mounting points and upholstery pattern before installation.
How The Armrest Works
The armrest provides ergonomic support for the driver, reducing fatigue on longer trips and improving comfort during urban driving. Mechanically it consists of a padded cushion mounted on a hinge and bracket assembly which fastens to the seat frame or centre console, depending on the vehicle model. Common wear items are the hinge, mounting clips, and upholstery cover.
How To Replace
- Slide the seat to a convenient position and inspect the visible screws or clips on the underside and rear of the armrest.
- Remove trim panels or covers that conceal fasteners. Keep all screws and clips organized for reassembly.
- Unbolt or unclamp the armrest from the seat frame. In some models the armrest is attached to the seat rail or a plastic bracket—transfer or replace broken brackets as needed.
- Fit the replacement armrest, ensuring the hinge and mounting points align correctly. Reinstall fasteners and trim, then test movement and locking function.
Installation Recommendations
- Work On A Flat Surface: Park the vehicle on level ground and ensure the seat is stable during the operation.
- Preserve Fasteners: Retain original screws, clips and washers where possible; replace any damaged clips to avoid rattles or looseness.
- Inspect Brackets: Check metal brackets and plastic mounts for cracks or deformation and replace if necessary.
- Lubrication: Lightly lubricate hinge pivots with a suitable grease to restore smooth movement if noisy.
- Upholstery Care: Clean light soiling before installation using materials compatible with the seat fabric or leather to avoid damage.
- If the replacement requires removal of seats or interaction with airbag components, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedures to ensure safety.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
- Mechanical Wear: Repeated opening, closing and leaning cause hinge wear and eventual loosening.
- Broken Mounts: Plastic clips and mounting brackets can crack from impact or prolonged stress.
- Upholstery Damage: Abrasion, spills and UV exposure can degrade the cover and foam padding.
- Neglected Maintenance: Lack of inspection and failure to replace small broken components leads to accelerated damage.
