Front bench armrest squeak fixed

[Accountant]

Found that pesky squeaky spot lol. Stuck some small felt pads on the area. Can also be done on the passenger side.

LOL so you need the armrest to you are balanced towards the center. I know, that's how i'm built haha!

Mine is squeaking real bad. I have the center console not the bench seating. Do you have a better picture to show where thats at?

That's where the armrest cover folds down to close. The squeak is vinyl rubbing on vinyl. So that's what I would look for.

I picked up some 'fabric repair' tape for a few bucks. Cut two tiny pieces for each side and that did the trick. It is those two surfaces rubbing together. Just a shame FCA can't seem to figure this out before production. I'd wager this will be an issue on the 2028 Ram 1500

Dry lubricant might also work
