Default B-Pillar Rattle

Hi all,

I remember a while back that some people were talking about an annoying rattle coming from the B-Pillar. Now I have that annoying rattle. Is there a fix for it? What exactly is rattling?

I'm thinking about removing the interior B-Pillar trim piece that's covering the seat belt anchor.
I assume the piece is just held on by clips in the back therefore you can just pull it off? Have anone done it before?

Thanks!!

Default Here is my fix...

I too thought that mine was a 'rattle' inside the b-pillar somewhere. But one day I noticed that the noise went away after opening the rear window. Finally I found that the source of my noise was that the top portion of the OUTSIDE black metal covering over the pillar was rubbing against the rubber/plastic trim under the 'rain gutter' area - again on the outside. Try pressing that area and see if you can duplicate the sound with the rear or front door open. I sprayed silicone spray there and it's been solved!

Hope your's is this easy. Good luck.
