Eliminate center console "creaking"
My center console creaks around the shifter and I find it annoying. Others have mentioned their center armrest creaks as well, mine does it slightly but it's getting worse. As the cars age, my assumption is dirt coupled with the products drying out and expanding/contracting with temps is the culprit.
Today I addressed both issues and it took about 30 minutes.

- Rubbing alcohol
- Thin adhesive backed felt (from craft store, i.e. Michael's)
- Phillips screwdriver

I am curious though, what's the point of putting the felt pads on the center console lid? Mine personally never makes noise, just everything else haha.
