driver door plastic making creaking noise

in the last week my 2003 fx4 supercab's driver door has started to make creaking noises (like plastic rubbing and moving around) from the window buttons to back behind the driver seat...i notice it even with music on.....even going over small bumps in road etc makes the noise...

any inside tricks to fix problem, ie, get very thin pieces of black rubber whatever and place between parts???
i plan on taking it in to ford dealer since it is still under warranty....i would think after this model had already been out 7-8 years that ford would have this problem solved!!
will the ford dealer even mess with it??

sometimes noise is on the rubber gasket door seal to the door frame. helps to spray a polish like super 2000 on the rubber seal and gloss it up. also spray the steel door where rubber rubs.

OB my door panels were doing the same. I put some foam pieces in behind the panels. That plastic to metal noise can really be annoying.....

Yea, good time for a swap. But I just pulled the bottom out enough to get the foam in. Probably wait on window mtr or something like that to do my swap...
