Default Armrest Not In Position/Aligned

Hello,

I have an issue that is really bugging me!!!! My armrest is not really aligned 100% and it keeps making a clicking noise every time I put my arm on the armrest. I found these little sticky pieces that go in the armrest when opened but the pieces fell out and I think this might be causing the problem. Just wondering if anyone has ANY idea how I could fix this problem. Or atleast help me figure out where I can these sticky pieces I can install to fix it. Please help, it's driving me nuts every time I put my arm on it! I put a picture and circled the pieces that I think have been damaged/fell off.

Hello, I had the same problem, almost. The noise! Was driving me nuts. So I bought some rubber pieces pre-glued, they come on paper sheets, already cut in different shapes (rounded, rectangular etc), ready to apply on desired place/surface. Then started to put them all over the place in that armrest and..... nope, the noise was still there. So I realized I only need to use them on that locking piece of plastic, see pic attached.



And that was it, no more noise. I have put one small piece of rubber on that plastic, and another on the side it was touching when closed, job done.

Hello, that photo I added is a cropped detail from yours. So I suggest you put some rubber on those 2 places you marked with red and then on the middle plastic locking piece. That should fix the noise.
