Anyone else experiencing this annoying interior cabin noise?

In the cold weather its more prevalent, but Ive noticed that the side of my seat actually touches the center console area. Given my seat positioning, it rubs up against it and causes an annoying squeak/creak. Ive tried diff positions, but I cant get it to go away since its mainly based on my height.

Yes, RPI will chime in and say adjustable side bolsters which I could tighten would alleviate the rubbing, but no can do.

My only other thought is to put some dark felt on the interior side of the center console to eliminate the friction.

A little strategically placed black velcro (the cushion part) can go a long way.

Can you post a photo of the area so we can see visually what is rubbing?

Yea I was planning on putting some felt (furniture pads) on the center console. If you looks at the side bolster on our seats, the meatiest portion touched the center armrest. Thats causing a squeak in my car.

The bigger annoyance for me is the rattle the passenger side seat has when going over a pot hole or uneven surface.
