Default B-pillar rattle that goes away with rear window open?

I'm presently battling a b-pillar area rattle (on the driver's side, about shoulder level?). The rattle is more like a tapping sound, it's there on some trips, not there on others. The only thing that makes it go away for sure is opening the rear window (just a crack will do). Anyone have any experience with this rattle - I want some info. prior to going to my dealer. Thanks.<p>Tom<br>1.8TQMS Silver/Ecru

Default You may have already ruled this out...

My passenger side seat belt height adjustment used to rattle (funny, it doesn't anymore). HTH.<p>CraigB

It's not a rattle, it's the window "vibrating" against the rubber door seal that's making the noice. Get some liquid spray silicone and shoot some in the seal - problem solved. (Check the archives for more info.)
