On certain cars, the bolts securing the rear armrest can loosen and cause the armrest to fall down too easily.
On other cars, the bolts may get too tight, making it difficult to lower the armrest. The bolts in the mounting may even break due to the increase in effort required to lower and raise the armrest.
