Default Blinker Lever Maintenance

This is pretty nit picky, but figured I'd ask it here.

My girlfriend has a 2011 IS250 and I have a 2006 IS350. One subtle difference between driving the two is how soft and un-"clicky" her blinker lever is. I remember mine used to be like that, but I guess something has worn over time.

Does anyone know if anything can be done (e.g. adding greasing) to restore the lever to its newer condition?

blinker fluid....

Just kidding. maybe spray some dry lubricant? It comes in aerosol can and doesnt leave any residue. I used it to get rid of annoying squaks from my seat belt latch. You might need to take the steering column cover off though.

But do not soak that area because you have the airbags clock spring
