will it still move up when you push it back??with the cover on it, it looks like it will only move back and forth and won't be able to go up.

Hmmmm......I lean against mine and haven't found it uncomfortable yet. Plus I spent a lot of money on other Mazda accessories that I need to put spending on a hold.

My thoughts exactly. I'm bidding on one of these, so if I get it this time I'll let you all know how it comes out. I bid on one once before, but dropped out when the price went too high. I'll also get with them about maybe making something for the door armrests too.

Many thanks. Fortunately my max bid was pretty much what it sells for on their site.

Got it. A very nice item... comfy, and just the right height. Does not prevent the console from opening either. I'm a happy camper. :D

How does it attach? Can you remove it later without damaging the original cover?

From their site: Can easily be removed without damage to seats or console.

That's all they say.

omicron,
pls keep us posted if you find something for the armrest (driver side). it would be great to find something that raises the armrest height.

Ditto - the driver's armrest is much too low. This spring - had 'Blue' up to Canada - 4000 miles in 10 days. It was very comfortable except for the drivers armrest. I ended up using a folded up towel to 'boost' the rest.

It attaches with Velcro, one long strip down the center in a recessed channel. I found, however, that this was not enough anchoring, so I added some additional velcro.

FYI, I spoke with Zeta products today, and they are interested in producing both the knee pads (similar to the Mazdaspeed ones, like these here), AND a left elbow driver's door arm rest pad.

Got one from ebay - another $28 to ship to UK, but given the weak dollar against the pound it works out about half price the price in £

Just awaiting delivery, would be interested in a door handle one too, but right hand door!
