Default Passenger Side Door Noise

So ever since I purchased the car I have been dealing with an annoying noise coming from the passenger door/dash side. Took it to the dealership several times and they tried different things. In fact the car was just sent out to the body shop for a TSB on a door adjustment. Needless to say the noise is still present.

So I took matters into my own hands and did some investigation. Bottom line is that the door trim is coming in contact with the dashboard which I believe is causing the noise. So I placed a microfiber towel between the two and BOOM the noise is gone. I have an email into the dealership but has anyone else dealt with a similar situation? Picture of my towel fix attached!

Take a little talcum powder and lightly wipe it on each side.

There is a special lubricant from 3M for this, leaves an invisible film. Unfortunately I cannot remember the product name but search their pages and you will eventually find it. IIRC Jaguar has issues a TSB on the matter.
