Any recommendations please?

A Rolls Royce chap suggested carbaflo, but I don’t know where to source it and assume that other products are available.

If it's plastic on plastic then WD40 silicone lube seems to work well.

Looks like a stick.

The noise I am trying to resolve is a HUD surround or dash / A pillar trim junction. It needs something I can spray or run in.

Krytox.

VW used to sell it to silence EOS interiors, I've used it good effect too.

Looks like the stuff, the one I had was an aerosol. Use sparingly, it kinda works its way in over a few days.

Good, because I have just ordered some! Many thanks.

If it creeps into joints it will be good. The HUD surround is quite a snug fit. But the occasional "crack!" usually as the car warms up is annoying.
