Center seats center armrest

[DWick351]

2021 GV80 Advanced Plus. The center armrest in the back (center) seats seems odd to me. It folds down flat against the seat 1) leaving it at angle that’s useless as an armrest and 2) kinda smashing the pop-out cupholder smashed up from the bottom and useless. Is this “the way it is” or is there something wrong with ours?
Thanks!
Dave

From the factory the rear seats are usually more upright than most people sit in them. If you will tilt the seat back on the one behind the driver to the angle most comfortable the armrest will sit level to the seat.

there is also this thread that discusses it.

Rear seat arm rest issue

My arm rest falls all the way down to the seat when I pull it down. I think it should stop above the seat. Cannot pull out drink holder. Am I missing something?

Recline the seat behind the driver's seat slightly and the armrest will stay up like a normal arm rest.
