Default Noise

Just brought a 2002 with 7,000 mile on it last week. The car is so much fun to drive that I am looking for any reason to go for a spin.

One of the annoyance while driving is a constant noise from around the rear left C pillar, or rear window area. It sounds like trim rubbing noise. I looked, but could not find any loose fitting. If anyone had the same problem, and know how to fix it, please help! Thanks.

I am new to this group and the S4 experience.

Default Re: Noise

the noise is probably coming from the middle pillar between the two doors. I have the same noise once in a while. I don't notice it much anymore.

Some claim that they have loosened it up a bit and moved it away from the top trim piece and the noise stopped.

Default Spraying some silicone spray on a rag and then wiping...

...down the rubber trim attached to the upper door frame solves that rubbing noise for me. Too bad the "fix" only lasts a few weeks. I'm still looking for a permanent solution.
