| So I read that the center storage bin/cup holder/armrest from a 91-95 Roadmaster (sedan or wagon) is a direct swap for my 92 Cappy armrest. My question is, did the Roadies ever come with a grey cloth interior? I've seen maroon, blue, and tan, but never grey. I'm headed to the yard tomorrow to see if I can find one. If not, I'll probably just grab one thats the wrong color, unless any forum members have any lying around  | |

| I do believe I've seen Roadmaster SEDANS with grey interiors.
Also, Fleetwoods and Fleetwood Broughams from 93-96 have the same armrest, and I know those came in grey. |

| I couldn't find a cloth one for my Caprice when I was looking, so I grabbed a leather one from a Roadmaster and dyed it to match the interior...turned out great. | |

| Years ago I snagged a grey cloth Roadmaster armrest at a scrap yard so they do exist. I've got a grey leather one in my GN. Awesome improvement over the stock console lid; adds comfort & utility.  | |

| Wow! 5 b's in the yard today! Went to a different yard then usual, as I've been to the other one 3 times in the past week and a half for various things, and I didn't see much there. There was only one Roadmaster in the yard, but it had a tan interior. Luckily for me though, I found this little gem inside of a black Caprice sedan!  It looked like someone had already tried to take it out unsucessfully. Lucky for me! There was only one screw left in there (the seats were already reclined all the way back), and the second screw took a LOT to get it to break free. I guess whoever was there before me gave up too early  Took it home for $20. A bit more than I would have liked, but hey, cupholders!   Cleaned up pretty nice for what it was. I'm happy. Thanks guys | |

| It is much easier to remove the two nuts on the studs that hold the armrest mount to the seat. No fighting with the #3 phillips screws, and the plastic washers. Takes about 3 minutes. | |
