    Hi All,

    I just noticed yesterday that my rear center arm rest was lowered. I don't spend much time back there so I didn't ever notice on my 2005 if the center arm rest is supposed to go down all of the way to the seat. This makes the armrest slightly "downhill" or not quite vertical. It almost seems like the front of it is resting on the seat. It's a leather '07. Should I point it out to the dealer at the first oil change, or is this normal?

    thanks

    This is normal. Or, rather, it is present in all Prii that I have ever seen. It's one of the only things I've been able to find in the Prius that I consider to be a true design flaw.

    mine does the same thing for what it's worth...
    the front segment of the armrest,
    just sort of lays on the back seat when it's in the
    down position---and does not seem to provide
    alot of actual arm support.....
    looks cool when down tho....
