Default Anyone ever get a random clicking sound from their passenger side B-pillar?

I seemed to have developed a clicking sound, which seems to be body movement of some sort. Sounds like plastic to plastic clocking. But, I'm not sure if it's due to road vibrations, as it will click on a smooth road too. I think it may be a thermal expansion of some sort....

Just curious if anyone here has had this issue or not... (tia)

It may be the rubbing of the B-pillar outer trim rubbing against the rubber seals. For me, I hear the sound when I hit a bump that causes the body to flex. At first I tried silicon spray, which did help momentarily. I recently adjusted the outer trim as suggested in a post a while back, not sure if it's a FAQ now. It basically involves moving the trim downwards about 1/8 of an inch. The trim is held on by four screws. Anyways, the sound is now gone.

Thanks - I'll take a look at it and maybe adjust it as you described.
