If just finished repairing the drivers armrest on my E250TD and I'm wondering how many positions it has. My only sits in the up or down positions.
 
But what then could the piece circled in yellow be for? it looks sort of like a ratchet mechanism, but if i did engage it would stop the armrest going up.

May be to stop it falling down as you lift it up i think the whole thing works on a retaining spring and the ratchet acctualy hold the arm rest in the up position ..
 
Thanks for the replies, now I now I don't need to get a replacement.
