They make a very thin adhesive felt tape that is used a variety of places on cars, but it can be hard to find locally. What I did is bought a piece of thin black flannel at a fabric store and a can of spray adhesive at Home Depot. I cut a piece I need, spray one side very lightly, and put it in place where it will be hidden when the trim is put back. It does two things - it cushions the friction point and creates an imperceptible gap between parts to reduce friction any place where you didn't put the cloth. Or you can try bicycle wax chain lube. It's a thin wax in a harmless solvent. Just let it weep into cracks and wipe off any excess with a cloth. I've used it a lot. Silicone spray does not work for long and often makes plastic squeaks worse.
