armrest

I recently bought a 91 firebird formula and it came with the passenger side armrest in the backseat, is there supposed to be a bracket attached to the door itself to hold this on? i've called numorous junkyards-dealer etc, and they no nothing. Any advice or answer to this would be great. Thanks a lot

there is a screw up by the top of the door, right next to your power doorlock switches(if equipped) that is where one screw goes, then there are 2 more on the bottom of the rest that screw into the door

Hmmmmm.....

This is gonna be one of those parts your just gonna have to get out there & look for. Because its so small, most salvage yards are just gonna tell you no. Call & ask them if they have a car or two you can go look at. Maybe you will get lucky & find one with trim panel off already & it should be a easy grab.
