    For those of you who rummage through junkyards I found a solution for those broken latches on the extension. I pulled a few off some mid 90's Legacy and Impreza and they are a perfect fit on my '02 bugeye, not sure on the 04 and later but think the latches are the same.

    I believe the latch changed in 2005, that's when the design of the armrest adjusted.

    Mine popped out of my 04 latch but I could snap it back in place. Happened a few times but was fixable each time.

    Poor design IMO.

    I've had the little end break off at the pivot and the last one broke at the part used as a spring.

    I grabbed all the ones I could find from Pull-A-Part south and east locations. Also grabbed a couple of cargo lights being they cover a lot of models. The overhead light in my '88 Justy is the same as the cargo light in the back of my '02 WRX wagon but now I'll have 2
