22 MDX Steeting Wheel Trim Squeaking

Recently got a used 22 MDX, 32k miles, just a month out of the 4 year warranty; and sometimes it just keeps making this clicking/plastic noise when turning the steering wheel. I pinpointed the issue to the buttons and the chrome trim around them, especially on the right side. Whenever I press on the trim, it squeaks. Did anyone run into a similar issue and was able to fix it without disassembling the steering wheel/changing components? Any recommendations?

2022 MDX Plastic Squeaking Noises - Steering Wheel & HUD

I recently got a used 2022 MDX Advance, 32k miles. We've just had for a couple of weeks, and overall it's a solid car, drives and handles beautifully, but we're heading some rattles/noises from 2 main places: the HUD and the steering wheel. For the HUD, I found out that this is a known issue and I'll just squeeze some felt/foam in between the HUD screen and the dash trim - but the steering wheel feels a bit more tricky.

I was worried it might've been something more serious (we did get a PPI that marker everything as green) but I think I pinpointed the sound to be coming from the buttons on either side of the wheel and the plastic trim around them - if I press on them they squeak bad, and any pressure on the wheel when turning it at slow speeds just makes them scream.

Did anyone run into this issue before/anyone has suggestions? Anything I can use to lubricate those plastic parts without ruining the trim or any solutions that don't involve taking the airbag off or the steering wheel apart?

The 4 year warranty just expired 2 weeks ago, which sucks lol, but anything the dealership can do?
