A vehicle seat armrest assembly includes an armrest (10) having a pair of opposing sides (24,26) and a metal armrest bracket (28) disposed adjacent each side (24,26) of the armrest (10) for pivotally supporting the armrest (10) and fixedly attaching the armrest (10) to a vehicle seat (12). A plastic shielding means or bracket cover member (46) is disposed between each side (24,26) of the armrest (10) and the adjacent bracket (28) for shielding the sides of the armrest (10) against direct contact with the metal bracket (28).
