Bloody rattling cargo / trunk / boot cover

As a major rattle nut I am (touch wood) largely impressed with my X3s build so far and have no cabin noise issues (other than excessive wind noise at speed but that's a 'feature' apparently)... with one major exception.

The extensible cargo / trunk / boot lid cover thing. It rattles when extended, less so when retracted, pretty non stop. I knew this was coming as the demonstrator was exactly the same and that thing has rattle city written all over it.

If I take it out, it stops, so I manage to keep myself calm thinking that I can do that if it gets to me - but I shouldn't have to, plus I don't like the boot being 'exposed' - I keep a couple of small things in there.

I am pretty sure there was a post about someone improving it with lubrication or bits of felt but for the life of me I can't find it. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction?
