How to remove Volvo armrests on 2018 780?

If yours is a national like mine, the arm rest is held in by a little push button on the tube that comes out of the arm rest and locks into the seat. You'll have to pry the seat foam and fabric wayyy in towards the middle of the seat to find it

 

From my experience as a long time Volvo lover, they fall off by themselves after 4-5 years - at that time the chair needs replacement anyway.

 

Put a seat cover over it, problem solved.

 

How do you drive without using the armrests?

 

When I bought my truck the arm rests were in a plastic bag with all the manuals to the truck. They were never installed because there's no hole in the fabric on the side of the seat to slide that tube into. When I saw this post I thought great someone is going to explain how to get them out which will essentially tell me how to get them in.

 

Get something called a hacksaw.

Problem solved,
