I was wondering if one can replace the silver/aluminum? trim that is located at the bottom of the plastic fake wood “dash?” This is the fairly thin piece that is directly above the radio and directly below the vents.

This is not for cosmetic purposes but was hoping there might be a softer trim material available that would reduce the incessant creaking/crunching symphony that I hear as I drive. I’m quite sure it’s this trim rubbing against the plastic above it that is the culprit.

It’s worse during the hotter temps so I’m really noticing now.
