Rattle in center arm rest - help?
My 2013 has a rattle in the center armrest. the driver's side of the split that slides forward has worked a bit loose. I guess from leaning my elbow on there. I can not find any screws to tighten, etc. anywhere and hate to travel 60 miles each way to the dealer. Can anyone steer me to a diagram or offer any advice. I have only about 7500 miles on it so the 10,000 mile dealer trip is a few months away.
Thanks in advance!

I was looking for a reason to take something apart today.
Thanks Jim
You can access 2 of the 6 screws when the arm rest is pushed forward.
4 tabs on the cover. Use a plastic pry tool on the side.
It is not necessary to remove the complete assembly, but if you choose to do so, there are 5 screws.
Push on the slide stop tab and slide the single arm rest off.
You now have access to all 6 screws.

Wow, thanks Tecman! I would not have been brave enough to take that apart. It seems like every time I run into those little plastic tabs I break one of the suckers off!

Snapping sound from center console
Something is intermittently snapping in the center console. The sound is like depressing one of the spring-loaded cup holder fingers and releasing it.
Happens when driving, maybe once or twice a day. Have yet to tie it to anything specific- type of driving, cup in holder or not, etc. I can say that it's not one of the cup holder fingers getting stuck and snapping back after I remove a cup.
Anyone else experience this?
