Abstract
An improved armrest used in vehicles where the armrest is affixed to the vehicle door and also serves as a grab-handle to enable the passenger to pull the door closed. The improved armrest is of the type that is produced by an injection molded vinyl process, and the armrest uses a two-piece insert in the main body that allows foam to be introduced into the upper portion and inboard side where the user's arm rests. This produces a more comfortable armrest that also is more visually pleasing and one that can be produced at a lower cost than known armrests of this type.
