I tried applying a light layer of grease on the plastic tab touch points for the passenger side piece and also did the felt tape trick in this link, but it still creaks. It's actually coming from the housing for the seat buttons. I think I'm going to bite the bullet on a new trim piece for that side as well because the spring force on the plastic tabs just wears out over time.
