I think those arm rest/grab handles break when short people drive.

I say that because mine are fine and the truck has 240K+ miles on it.

However I do have a "soft" spot behind the grab handle on top of the arm rest where my elbow sometimes sits... not noticeable unless you feel for it.

My theory is that short people have their seat slid forward and their elbow sits on the grab handle instead of on the arm rest.

I don't know, just my theory.
