Anyone else have an issue with this?.  The top part of the armrest (the 'leather' cover) creaks against the plastic base on which it is attached. Thinking of separating them and re-gluing, anyone tried this, or found another way to eliminate the creaking?

 

Take a look here, there are some examples of the armrest deadening. 

I got some black plastic drinking straws, cut them to the right length and slotted them in between the leather and the plastic. Solved the problem. Used a small flat head screwdriver to help coax them in. 

Nice, will give that a go. Cheers.

Same here, glad it's not just me! Drinking straws clever idea, will give it a go. Many thanks for posting.
