Detailed video instructions for installing the armrest on a Lada Kalina .
The work process in a nutshell. We remove the plastic pads at the bottom of the seats. Using the template, mark and cut out the insert on the plastic cover. Next, we screw the armrest and put the decorative trims in place.
I recommend watching the video tutorial, there are many nuances for installing the armrest.
This article will help you choose armrests for the 1st and 2nd generation Lada Kalina car with sedan, hatchback and station wagon body types. The first generation car went into production in 2003 and was produced until 2013. In 2013, the second generation of Lada Kalina 2 cars entered the market, which is still in production today. There is quite a large selection of armrests for the Lada Kalina - we will present you the most popular models from the world's leading manufacturers and tell you how to install the armrest correctly.
Which armrest for Lada Granta, Kalina 2 is better to choose (photos, prices)
AVTOVAZ decided not to install armrests on the Lada Kalina 2 and Lada Granta, even on the “luxury” configuration.
For many, there are no questions about its absence, but the majority of car enthusiasts believe that there simply must be an armrest and install it with their own hands. We decided to find out which armrest for the Lada Grant and Lada Kalina 2 is the most comfortable, practical and inexpensive. The second generation Lada Kalina consists only of a hatchback and a station wagon. The sedan is produced as the Lada Granta model. Apparently this is why both Lada models do not have an armrest..
ADDITIONALLY
- Photos of the armrest of our own production are presented. Photo of an armrest installed in a car, front view, rear view, close-up photos. All photos were taken to dispel all doubts before purchasing.
- Externally, the armrest looks stylish and modern. Again, you can see how it looks inside the car in the video above.

Universal armrests
1. The first armrest box usually has the name “REX” or “TORINO”, but is also found under other names. It is attached to the floor where the seat mounting bolts are screwed.
2. Chinese analogue of the Armster armrest.
Model armrests
3. Armster armrest. Initially, the model was produced only for the 2nd generation Lada Kalina, but a little later they began to produce armrests specifically for the Lada Granta liftback and sedan.
4. Armrest Alamar. The first armrests were too high and caused discomfort to drivers. Later, the company modified the mount, lowering the armrest a few centimeters.
5. Homemade armrest. The main advantages of an armrest that you will make yourself are individuality, efficiency and the ability to make the part as practical as possible (for yourself).

TOP 5 armrests for Lada Granta: comparison of prices and characteristics
An armrest is a special part of a car seat on which you can rest your arms while driving. It helps relieve stress on the arm muscles during a trip and thus avoid premature driver fatigue.
Original armrests in their original place
The original armrests are made by Armster. They are functional and beautiful black models, with adjustable lift angle between the seats (maximum lift angle is 105 degrees), with a removable top cover and additional space under it, where you can store various travel items, and are also equipped with a pen holder. The main advantage of such an armrest is that it fits perfectly under the required console!

Varta armrests
These handy armrests fit into the rear cup holder so you can use the handbrake with ease. They also have a removable cover made of high-quality leatherette, the so-called “eco-leather,” which is very pleasant to the touch, easy to clean and does not wear out over time. The armrest can withstand a vertical load of up to 80 kg!
Universal armrests
To be honest, in universal armrests, universality has only one name, based on which they should fit any car of any brand. But, unfortunately, this is not the case. Most often, there is a situation where a car owner who has bought such a “universal” armrest has to independently adjust it, tighten it, file it and try to fit it in its normal place. And such manipulations do not always achieve the desired result. Therefore, we strongly recommend not to purchase such armrests.
Price: from 948 rubles - out of stock
Chinese armrests
Chinese manufacturers have literally flooded the market with a variety of armrests for a wide variety of cars. But you shouldn’t immediately run for cheap and quite attractive Chinese armrests; you should be vigilant and carefully consider your choice. So, despite the fact that Chinese armrests are made for a specific car model, this model is not always indicated on the armrest packaging. Just as it is not always possible to find the name of the manufacturer on it. In order not to buy a “pig in a poke”, it is best to purchase Chinese armrests from our company. We will help you choose what is perfect for your car!

DIFFERENCE IN ARM REST OPTIONS
The main difference between the armrests is their finishing. There is also a difference in installing them on the car tunnel. Their sizes are similar. The capacity is the same. All three options are made of highly durable plywood. The body and cover of the armrests are completely covered with special anatomical soft foam, covered with leather on top. The armrests are completely soft to the touch and the lid and body are pleasant to the touch, but at the same time there is a very large margin of structural safety.
- Option 1 has upholstery material - high-quality eco-leather . The quality is similar to eco-leather covers - smooth, pleasant to the touch. The body and lid are stitched with decorative stitching. The internal compartment is completely lined with carpet, (1 year warranty) The opening angle of the lid is 90 degrees. The installation method is to put it on top of the tunnel and clamp it tightly with the side arms of the armrest.
- Option 2 has upholstery material: high-quality eco-leather. The quality is like eco-leather cases - smooth, pleasant to the touch. The body and lid are stitched with decorative stitching. The internal compartment is completely lined with carpet, (1 year warranty) The opening angle of the lid is 90 degrees. The installation method is to put it on top of the tunnel and use the side legs of the armrest to clamp it tightly, resting on the floor. The legs of the armrest are covered in leather.
- Option 3 has finishing material: automotive leather , similar in texture to automotive plastic. (The quality is the same as leather seats in the maximum configuration of the car) The body and cover are stitched with decorative stitching, which makes the appearance of the armrest very nice. Inside is a compartment that is completely lined with car carpet. (3 year warranty) The opening angle of the lid is 90 degrees. The installation method is to put it on top of the tunnel and use the side legs of the armrest to clamp it tightly, resting on the floor. The legs of the armrest are covered in leather.
All three options are installed in a matter of seconds without the use of screws, bolts and other fasteners, without interfering with the design of the car console. At the same time, the stability, convenience and reliability of the armrest do not suffer. The vertical load on the armrest can reach up to 100 -120 kg. The functionality is not affected. The seats move, all seat belts are fastened, the handbrake is jerked all the way, the 1MM, USB, AUX outputs do not close.
Armrest (comparison with the one that stood on Kalina)
