A: Yes and No, lowering the device will seem slightly lose but it was designed to stay on the door panel when in use and when
closing the door. No, when the device is in a higher positioning. It all depends on your pad comfort level.

A: No, the design of the cup holder and unit will withstand road bumps, so it acts as a shock absorber. However, like any cup- holding device, liquid within the cup should not be full to the rim.

Cautions:
- Position the ArmRestor along the door panel to avoid interference with the steering
wheel, so that you have the most comfortable positioning of the Device. The slidable pad allows you to
use the device as close or far from you since the pad feature moves along the base. - Be diligent where you place the device so to avoid objects that may be on your door panel such as a handle to open the door or the doorknob.
- Before closing or slamming your car door, be sure to remove any drinking cup from the cup- holder that does not have a lid cover. This is a precaution so to avoid the cup from potentially spilling out any liquid.
- Be cautious of drinking hot items placed in your cup holder as you may unintentionally hit the cup while driving and may burn your hand or leg. Place the cup holder in the appropriate position.
- Window with Film coating- If your vehicle is tinted with film plastic coating, be cautious as the hook may scratch the film. Tinted windows with no film coating have no caveats.
Nylon Spring Push Button– located within the interior pad, contains a nylon spring. We do not use metal springs. This allows years of continued use and easy replacement if required and to ensure a tightly secured pad while driving. A new Push button may sometimes be rigid or feel very tight when pressing to slide the pad. This is easily resolved. We recommend on some units to first exercise the push button to loosen the Nylon (resilient plastic) by gently pressing and releasing the push button until you are comfortable with the ease of use.
Hook Not Flushing on door panel– some vehicles may appear to prevent the hook from flushing evenly on the door panel. This is easily resolved. This is commonly caused by either U channel blocker that is placed inside the door panel or a secondary inner rubber lining. This is used sometimes to keep window tight enough from rubbing against the rubber lining or for weather prevention.
Place your finger inside the rubber lining to push the second inner lining to one side , while holding the lining to one side, with the other hand, take the lip located on the hook and angle it in between the window and lining. Gently wiggle the lip until it easily slides inside this area. If a U channel is the issue, you can easily feel for it. Normally found in the center of the door panel about an inch beneath the top of the panel. Again with your finger, gently feel for the blocker and press to one side or gently move it while sliding the lip inside the door panel. Again, wiggle it gently until the hook slides into place.
