Does anyone know of an easy way to reattach the driver's side arm rest - mine is attached on the front but the back pulled out of the door panel - Thanks

Did it actually tear out of the sheet metal? If the last installer missed the sheet metal and the screw was holding onto  door panel material, it may be as easy as fishing the screw into the original hole and tighten her up...

I don't visit this site often because I don't have the time. 
Did you fix your arm rest?  I had the same problem with mine.  I might be able to help if you still need it.
Let me know

Thanks Hank - like you I rarely visit this site anymore - too many garbage emails floating around in the site - however I do appreciate the response, I was able to finally get the arm rest reattached but only because I gave up trying to do it myself and took it to the local Chevy dealer.  Thanks

They actually had to take the whole door apart it was costly but the added benefit is that my window thatnused to stop a half inch short of the t top now goes all the way up
