Default questions

Hi everyone,
I have a 2018 type manual 340hp. There is a space in the console near the stick on the right side filled with a rubber insert. Has anyone found something else that can go there, maybe a carbon fiber piece?
My second question is that I have significant noise going around turns that sound like the panels are rubbing and causing a creaking sound. Has anyone else experienced this? I was told that there are some small pieces that can be put between the panels to stop this.
Thanks!
Nick

I use that little rubber cubby to the right of the rain mode button for loose change and loose screws falling off onto the carpet (just kidding on the screws, but I do need that type of storage for my GMC).

I haven't found a use for the space as yet, but do wish it were shaped so as to fit the key fob. I use what I suppose is the passenger assist grip that angles up from the console to hold my wallet; it wedges perfectly in the opening.
