DS & Jonce

        While what Jonce has suggested is possibly the problem it is possible
& quite probable

that the RollPin that attaches the Arm to the MountPin has backed out
~ I have seen this on

many Vanagons including my 90Westy & a friends 89 among others ~ if
you feel around the

area between the SeatBack & the ArmRest you will be able to feel the
RollPin if it has backed

out unless it has completely fallen out & disappeared.

                                                                                        ORR ~ DeanB
