adjustable arm rest help please

[vinvinmike]

I LOVE my 2011 Sportwagen and have been able to achieve the 40+ mpg on the highway that I was hoping for. I struggle with the adjustable armrest, though, and hoped someone here had a secret to share about how to get the arm rest to stay in the higher position. I can get it there sometimes, sometimes not, and there doesn't seem to be any specific method to getting it there. I will be forever grateful...

The armrest is on a click to set ratchet mechanism.
Bringing the armrest fully up (90 degrees) resets the ratchet, then go all the way down to flat, then bring to the desired height. The armrest should stay in that position.
Repeat as necessary.

Mine does not have to ho all the way open to reset, just an inch or two higher than the highest lockable position. Once you figure out the max height allowed, it becomes second nature to readjust.
