When rear seat armrest is lowered or raised, a squeak can be heard.
Cause
Armrest fixing bracket design.
Action
Replace armrest fixing brackets with modified type as follows:

2. Undo the 2 fixings securing armrest brackets ‘B’ to squab and withdraw armrest.
3. Separate brackets from armrest by undoing the 4 bracket to armrest Torx fixings, (retain plastic spacers ‘C’ for re-assembly), discard brackets.
4. Assemble new brackets HTL100920 and HTL100930 to armrest (include previously removed plastic spacers) and tighten fixings.
