Thanks for the write-up. My arm was just dislodged and not broken. Now I have the door/arm/gasket kit available if anyone needs one (bought one ahead of time).
Advice - don't store your removed trim pieces in your driver wheel well. When I was testing the door fix I needed to put the car in ACC mode - which moved the seat back in position, snapping a mount off of the wood trim panel
