Our armrest pads feature a simple snap-on design that requires no drilling, no tools, and no permanent modifications to your sidecar. Most installations take less than 5 minutes.
Installation Steps
Step 1: Prepare the Surface
- Clean the armrest mounting area on your sidecar tub
- Remove any dirt, grease, or debris
- Ensure the surface is completely dry
Step 2: Position the Armrest Pad
- Align the armrest pad with the mounting area on your sidecar
- The pad is designed to follow the contour of standard Ural-style sidecar tubs
Step 3: Snap Into Place
- Press firmly and evenly across the entire pad
- You'll feel/hear a satisfying snap as the pad locks into position
- The pad should sit flush against the sidecar body
Step 4: Verify Secure Fit
- Gently tug on the armrest to confirm it's locked in place
- Check that all edges are seated properly
No Tools Required
Unlike other aftermarket armrests that require drilling holes into your sidecar, our snap-on design:
- ✅ Preserves your sidecar's original condition
- ✅ Allows easy removal if needed
- ✅ Won't void any warranties
- ✅ Can be transferred to a new sidecar
