DIY - Reduce/Eliminate Console Squeaks

Center armrest squeaks
Bought a 2020 rx 450h recently. The center armrest would make some creaking noise when I have my elbow resting on it. It also makes noise when the car goes over some bump. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
thank you!

You could start with a little lubrication on the hinges or hinge. I never looked to see if there is one or two hinges. It's possible that two plastic pieces are rubbing together.
Good luck, I'm sure you'll fix it. Just curious would it be covered under warranty?

I went to my local Lexus dealership and they said it will cost 200+$ just to diagnose. I was like… That’s why I’m thinking about fixing it myself. The car is a 2020 model with around 38000 miles (bought it used recently). maybe the previous owner has strong elbows XD

Just checked Lexus website. Says not covering “Noise, vibration, cosmetic conditions and other deterioration caused by normal wear and tear.”
