Default trim ring noise. any solutions?

Having noise from my front trim rings. Don't know how to fix problem.
Anyone have a solution for this? I really like the look so I don't want to
remove them.

Step one remove the trim rings and drive the car to be sure the noise is gone. Assuming that the trim rings are at fault you could apply some JB weld (or similar epoxy) to any places that are loose in them, this should stop any rattle or vibration.

For whatever reason, one of mine was very noisy too. It's obvious, no need to take rings off. Metalic gravel noise. I just took a thin (1/2 inch) thick peice of duct tape, and wrapped it around the ring on the contact points. Problem solved.

I had the noise too. I just took mine off, but will try the duct tape thing.
