Best of luck.

Yeah, but it's very solidly mounted with a fairly heavy steel bracket and two screws and locating pins. I took it out at one point so I could feel around below, and refastened it good and tight. That thing ain't moving.
I took a good close look today in the sunlight and noticed that the dealership indeed stuck in a thin piece of foam rubber at the joint between the A-pillar trim and the dash. I wonder if it had been glued to both sides but broke loose (since it was quiet for the first 3 km after the fix). Maybe when I go in for my first oil change I'll ask them to somehow rivet, bolt or otherwise clamp the two plastic pieces together so they don't rub at all.
But why would my X-Trail be noisy when others are quiet? Perhaps the whole dashboard wasn't bolted in right? Maybe the body's flexing more than it should when it hits a bump? I'd like to solve the root cause if I can.
