Squeaky/Crackly Arm Rest?

Anyone else's arm rest have this issue? It'll make loud crackly noises any time I lean on it, and often when just driving along. It's pretty loud/annoying. For a 2 year old car with only 13K miles on it, I'm surprised it's so bad. Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks

Thanks for the thought, but do you really spray WD40 in your interior? Isn't that a bit messy?

Where on an arm rest would you spray? It sounds like it's just the plastic itself to me, so I dont know how lubrication would help...
