Step Cover Rattle

I have a 2017 Anthem. When we put out the step cover it rattles quite a bit.

It "hovers" slightly above the "track" that it goes out on. So what is happening is that it when it flexes down it bumps on the "track" making a noise.

One way to fix that has been suggested is to put shims at the end of the track so that they fill the space and the end is fully in contact when it is fully extended. Thus no noise.

We tested this with cardboard and it works. DW is concerned about the aesthetics.....

What about using self sticking felt pads available at any hardware store, Lowes, Home Depot, ACE etc.

I used the felt pads cut to fit from Home Depot but I stuck them underneath on the black sliding part of the step so that they do not show.

Thanks
I had watched that video, but forgotten the part about the rattle fix part.
I will try them underneath first, but I am tired of that rattle

About a 1/2" by 1" piece doubled up under the front edge (nearest the entry door) each side is all it took for mine.
