Mine does that, but I won't claim it's normal. Might be, but there are gears in there which are known to fail, and this may be a common symptom that gear failure is ahead.
I don't worry about it; if it breaks the fixes are well documented.

Ok, my turn.
What are you guys using to clean/condition your outside rubber? I'm talking about around the windows, hood, trunk, etc.? I've gotten a little wax on them so now they have a white haze and want to remove it and bring a little life back into the rubber. Is everyone just running to the local store and picking up some "back to black" or is there something else that might work better?

does anyone know how the carpeted plastic interior cover pieces in the passenger footwell fasten?
I see the metal piece at the back which slots in ... but in the front (ie towards door frame)?

Back to the rubber trim question, I thought virtually nothing removed wax from the rubber. Any other suggestions that is Autozone store easy and not mail order?

I used an old toothbrush and some silicone spray (in my case Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care, Armor All will do the same) to remove some fresh wax residue from the rubber between the front bumper and the body. I had to apply it a few times, along with agitation from the toothbrush, and it eventually removed the signs of wax residue.
After I had that small lapse, I proactively worked over the rubber pieces with the toothbrush and silicone spray before I started waxing in any area. The fresh application of silicone spray made removal of wax residue (using the silicone spray and toothbrush method) much easier in the event I got some on the rubber trim.
