I'm looking to use this product on an armrest of a 98 integra. armrest is about 5in wide, while this is 3in wide. can it work, manipulated or not?

I suppose If you broke off the side pieces and secured it well with the Velcro straps, in my opinion, it might work. BUT, if you contact the owner of the company who is unbelievable helpful, I am sure he would have the answer for you. I just can't express enough how this little item has made me so happy.It is the first product in my life that I have wanted to shout out to people............that they too deserve this! Good luck, again the Co. owner is just wonderful, I have contacted him myself and referred many to his company, even retailers.

My apologies for the late reply, I have been away. From memory The armrest in my father's chair is approximately 3 inches wide and the holder fits if perfectly so 5 inches would be too wide.I am still away but can double check in a day or two once I am home and can check.

I think it will work. I bought it for a Jazzy Elite and it fits perfect. The velco adjusts so it fits tight. Hope this helps.

Email Bryan in the Arkon customer service department at feedback@arkon.com He'll be able to get you the specifics. My guess is that you won't have a problem attaching this headrest mount to your headrests. Each of the two hooks adjusts at least 3" in either direction.

:-) Me too! It did not fit the armrest perfectly (mine was a five speed, bucket seats, dual armrest) but with one little snip I was able to get it past the joint. then I tied it down tightly. Not the most elegant solution but it works.

slimslim: the armrests are priced individually so i bought two. they have made a large difference in feel and control of my medline wheelchair, one suggestion for your install. make sure you check head size of phillips screw your armrests are probably mounted with. my armrests came with new screws but i used the existing ones. somebody used overly large screws so new ones would not tighten up.you will also need long phillips screwdriver. i had one but that is something to check if you plan to go shopping.

The post can be adjusted by width and you add the sleeve for thickness or remove the sleeve to change diameter. Joshiesmon due a search on how to install DVD headrest on YouTube and you will see what I am talking about.

It works on larger American cars. Tried it on a small Toyota Corolla and it's too big.

It is sturdy w a good grip pad surface but it was too wide for the back of my 4-door Honda Accord. It does work w my husband's Honda Element but it has two doors that open out (suicide doors). Definitely check measurements for the width.

No, you can make it work as long as you can see a little bit of the metal on the headrests. It is VERY difficult to install, however, if you can't raise the headrests a good amount though.

Hmmmm, I have personally tried this approach in my '02 Jeep Liberty, and I will tell you, it does NOT work! Will not stay in place - slips off with the slightest weight on the table. Below the steering wheel however, it is GREAT! Hope this helps!

I installed this on a 1999 Silverado. Width is fixed, not adjustable could be the reason. Experience tried to get in parking garage to tall had disassemble while stuck in entrance. Backed into my own garage snapped it off. If money is not an option get adjustable height ones, and leave down when not in use.

Yes it works great but just be sure to measure the width if your back seat to a ensure you get the right size. Very sturdy device - will limit some visibility in your rear view mirror.

Don't trust it. I read a comment that it doesn't work in Swedish cars, it's now stuck in my Volvo seat belt with standard seat belts. It work the first time, then I tried it a second time and....stuck. Who knows what other cars that it won't work with.

I've used it on all types of cars and each time it's a short learning experience. Sometimes you don't have enough height so you might need to disassemble parts of the suspension to get more room or use a jack on lift the suspension when you have too much room. Just be patient and you'll make it work.

I want to say yes, as long as the headrest has 2 guideposts that are not too recessed. The Gripdaddy is adjustable in multiple ways. I have placed in different cars, and have always been able to adjust it to the best position for my kids. However, I have never positioned it the way you want to. Hope this helps! This thing is durable!

I have used the mount in a couple of cars. The Pontiac has a "mild-curving" dash and it works there. The other car is a Subaru, which has a center dip in the dash, and although this area is not flat the mount works okay. The underside is rubbery and sticks to most surfaces.

This armrest pad has a hole pattern of 3 2/8. It might work. I mean, it's universal to fit about 95% of chairs put there

I sent it back because it needed to be modified to fit......ask the seller......I think it has to be modified to fit cars....it is well made though so if you want to do a little adjusting it might be a good deal for you....good luck !!
