Thanks, buddy! I glued it to both parts and it improved, however the noise is starting to come back; the vibrations are between the upper and lower parts must be the cause, I suppose.

So you glued it to the lower part, did you break the tabs on the upper cover? Mine still has them intact, I could take it apart, cut them and try your approach, I take it you put the Rtv all around the actual runners, between them and their openings on the lower part? I'm all in when it comes saving money, and this definitely is a good candidate!
