I have a small squeak I guess you could say, from the arm rest of the front seat passenger door. I'm in Australia and hence my car is a right-hand drive car. The passenger when putting their arm on the arm rest of the door, the arm rest will squeak / rattle / creak with the movement of the car. This seems to be the point where the rear of the arm rest meets the rest of the door. I can make it perform this squeak / rattle / creak by simply applying a bit of pressure to this point. Is this a known issue or is it probably going to be that that piece has come loose and just needs tightening (which is what I believe the problem to be).

This picture is of a left hand drive vehicle, but illustrates the spot I am talking about



Can I get to the screw that holds this in place quite easily or is there a complicated process to get to it?

 

Is it still under warranty?
I will have to look at mine to see if I can find the screws for tightening.

 

My car is a 2004 so it is well out of warranty.

 

xfirechief or anyone else know how to get to this part of the door (screws etc) so I can try tightening it?

 

Can't find any screws, do u think the dealers service rep would show u?

 

Possibly not sure. I might give them a call and see if they may know how to get to this part of the door.

 

Hi Draco,

Did you figured out to resolve the door armrest squeak? I am having same issue and it is annoying as I am used to put my elbow there when driving.
