My 2020 RS3 has 400 miles on it, and today the armrest makes a loud clicking/creaking noise when it is opened. It seems to be at the “ratchet points” where the armrest would stop if not lifting completely. It makes no noise when closing. I don’t recall hearing the noise until
Today.

It’s fairly loud and annoying, although the opening operation is smooth.

Has anyone experienced this? Is there a fix for it? It seems minor to bring to the dealer but with the car being so new, I’m not sure what to do to correct it or if it indeed normal as the noises are occurring at the ratchet points that will lock position if not continuing to pull up.
