Noise from cab windows

I have recently purchased a 2009 Autotrail its fab , however , there is a loud squeaking when the van is on the move, which is incredibly annoying ! I am pretty sure it is coming from the plastic mount holding the cab window blinds. It is not just in one corner but sounds like most of the panel moving against its fitting on the doors. I guess this is because of the age of the plastic (if it is plastic) . Is there anything I can put on the plastic to make it more supple or does anyone have any suggestions please . I am being put off driving any long distances because of it . Thank you

Have you notice if they are coming loose? you could try some sylicon spray between the blind frames and the metal body to see if it helps, it might just be the two materials rubbing

Hi , I don't think it is rubbing it seems to be the plastic bending whilst we are moving . So I don't think silicon will help. Thanks for taking the time to reply though.
