Removing Arm Rest from Slider-Help!
Greetings! Bill here in Wooster Ohio. I have a Jaguar X-Type and I am getting it ready for our Annual Concours and need to replace my arm rest cushion from the "slider" that is over the storage area. Also, I need to remove the slider as well to repaint that. Any assistance with this? I really don't see any familiar fasteners or screws. Thank you! Bill in Ohio.

Remove the upper compartment from the lower (screws are on the hinge).
Open the upper compartment and release the slide. Move the armrest pad forward a bit; the screws will be visible through the holes in the slider bracket itself.
Doesn't make sense to describe it, but you'll see what I'm talking about as soon as you have the armrest/upper compartment assembly flipped upside down in front of you.

Good news! Thanks to all of you who gave useful comments! There are two 20" torx screws that hold the armrest with slider in place! So, I removed the armrest with slider and am getting it ready for repaint. I will post some pictures. Great news is that when I show the car, I can install the brand new armrest from Jaguar then I can reinstall the armrest (beginning to crack) with the slider. What I like about the armrest with slider is that I get additional storage with that one. I can keep the brand new one for shows. Thank you again! Bill in Wooster OH.
