I almost could not find this post. This may help you. This is what I concluded from my research.

Notice how when the side curtain deploys it comes from the bottom/rear edge of the pillar. So if anything the pillar is pushed forward.
Just don't cross any tubes or wires in the curtains path.

Ok so I ripped off the cover which was really easy. I placed some felt where the dash and cover meet and where the plastic piece from the cover goes into the plastic thing in the dash. By just pushing on the pillar now it makes a lot less noise then before the felt. Hopefully now when I drive I'm not going to hear the creaking sound going over bumps and uneven surfaces. I'll report back once I put her on the road for a test.
