[Saabob]

Hi everybody this is my first post here , I have just bought a DS3 picked it up last friday , it has a really creaky armrest once its down it makes noises if my arm is on it ,on or not on it ...if its up no noise .
I read some others have experienced some noise to but there doesnt seem to be anyfix these posts were quite old i think , it is a plastic noise and not leather.
Has anyone managed to find a way to fix it any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Apart from this great little car

Welcome to the club. The armrest will settle down

thankyou for the welcome i really hope it does its really not something i expected on a new car everyone on holidays here so not to many people at the dealer to get any advice on this for a couple of weeks ..

Most people have said it settles down eventually, lol.

I had this too, fixed it easily by carefully spraying WD40 onto the plastic hinge (raise the arm to see the hinge) and this stopped mine immediately.

That is also what I did

I notices a slight squeak, no biggie.

A small squirt is enough

oh shit !!! i have an old saab 9000 2.3 1996 no sqeaks anywhere probably wouldnt sqeak if I crashed it twice into a tree !! fingers crossed the DS3 stays sqeekey free at least for a few years ,,

Did the armrest stop squeaking ?

[Saabob]

I am going to work on it tomorow morning i will let you know too much happening at work these last days but tomorow is d-day for the sqeekey armrest

[lfcrule1972]

Should be no issues at all, if it's that making the noise then it will be v quiet after the WD40
