Some armrests are ajustable via a knurled knob on the very front of the rest itself....

it could be the samr as the ones on the focus just pull it back up to right height and it will lock

[riche100]

will go try it now ..

incidently no knob on end to adjust

got a mk7 transit also btw

Plugging in your ipod to play thru the stereo after you press the AUX button on it

if you check the underside of the black bit of the armrest you should see a small blanking plug. remove it and with a long thin screwdriver turn the screw colckwise and that will raise the arm rest. the other picture looks like the radio/cd auxillary jack connection. regards andy

my armrest has done the same

Ford decided against putting the nice adjuster at the end of the Arm rest as a cost issue...!!
As andy63 stated remove the small round blanking Plug,however when I've done mine in the past its easier to remove the small screw and remove the whole retangular shaped piece of plastic and then get yourself a long flat end screwdriver,if you shine a torch down the "inside"of the Arm rest you'll see the screw that alters height adjustment...
Wind in or out for up n down...sorry cant remember which way for what though

Why not just try one and see ??

[andy 63]

mine was a flat blade job. it is a bit fiddley. did you try removing the black trim piece as suggested in a previous post. whatever you do dont unscrew it all the way out. ta andy
