ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat bottom with a seat back supported on the seat bottom. An armrest is pivotally attached to one side of the seat back, and can pivot between a stowed position and an operable position. In the stowed position the armrest is vertically aligned with the seat back and in the operable position the armrest extends generally outwardly from the seat back so that a user can rest their arm on the armrest. The armrest is received by a support rod that extends outwardly from one side of the seat back. The armrest includes a substantially rigid insert member and a resilient retaining member. The resilient retaining member is installed in the insert member and the insert member is then pressed onto the support rod such that the resilient retaining member engages both the insert member and the support rod to secure the armrest to the seat back.
