Apparently this is not unheard of in the otherwise solid Audi interior. It's obviously not a major problem, just a bit of a nuisance at times. Any quick fixes?

True to Audi form, there was a creak coming from the rear of the armrest somewhere, and there was also a squeak from the driver's window control trim.

Besides that, my hands are still shaking and my face is still grinning from the short drive.

LOL, I STILL feel that way, even after 5k miles. . .

it doesn't exist to me and I keep it up all the time.

Gets in the way of comfortable spirited shifting and gets in the way of the parking brake. For some reason, I did not have this problem in my former B5... but then that one creaked... a simple fix was foam tape at strategic spots on the armrest lid.

Keep it up all the time?. . . me too, ;-0

The whole armrest assembly was removed. Had to get at a bolt inside through the rear ashtray (removed of course). Whole thing lifts up. The trim piece around the base of the armrest has a gasket around it, had to grease this a bit to get rid of the squeak.

It drove me nuts, couldn't wait until the next service to get it addressed.

2nd. Just gets in the way of shifting.
