Console lubrication?
Not really a "tech" question, but I figured you guys would know.
I took off the center console to fix the lighter socket, which unscrewed. Before putting it all back, I wanted to lubricate some of the touch points where you get creaks and squeaks....
What should I use? I was thinking a microthin layer of silicone grease, but that stuff is supposed to dry out vinyl moulding?
Any help?
Thanks in advance.

Felt is a great thing....I've used felt to place between the vanity mirror and it's cover(stick it to the cover not the mirror
) to stop them from rattleling too.
