VW / Skoda / Seat Armrest Clip

thingiverse

The center console armrest clip is a widely failing part. This design works exceptionally well, providing a secure fit with no rattling. A second spring holder location has been added in case the spring needs to be mounted on the opposite side. The tabs on top are also designed to be short enough that minimal bending of the plastic is necessary for installation, preventing damage while installing. Print vertically with supports, positioning the clip arms horizontally. This ensures that the print layers align along the length of the clip arms, preventing layer separation during installation. Since the clip will be installed in a car where high heat may be an issue, it's best to print with PETG, ABS, Nylon, or other high-temperature filament. I've had excellent results with CCTREE PETG in temperatures above 45 degrees Celsius in car interior environments. My model was simply spray-painted textured black with a clear matte final coat.
