Anyone here ever have a rattle inside the driver's B pillar? Not sure but I think the only thing inside is the seat belt mechanism. It just started and is intermittent. I've checked under the front and rear seats......under the car, you name it and can't find anything out of the ordinary.

Any help would be appreciated........thanks

weird, i have the same b pillar rattle but mine is on the passenger side.

I've got an occasional rattle that is coming from that general area (though it is passenger side), but I think it is the handle above the rear passenger-side window.

It's the only unwanted sound that is coming from the vehicle...

Check to make certain that the seat belt buckle is not touching the pillar as it hangs. Mine settles from time to time up close to the pillar. Makes an annoying as hell rattle that until I figured it out, drove me crazy.

Dj_AmtraX and I both had the same problem. It is the door seal, not the B-pillar. It gets fixed with the 3M wet-type silicone as described here.

I actually had this B pillar noise awhile ago and fixed it removing the plastic garnish that runs up the B-pillar from the floor and then put some adhesive backed felt on all clips. Worked perfectly. The sound I remember hearing sounded like plastic contacting each other due to a very small amount of clearance between the lower garnish clip and upper garnish slot.

You nailed the noise perfectly..........will check it out........thanks

I'm going to take my car in Monday or Tuesday to have bunch of stuff checked. Including the rattles, b pillars, creek, squeaks, etc. Mainly for the reason that I think my shocks have weakened/broken. I live in California, it used to not happen, but now everytime I go over those white-small bumps/dots on Cali freeways I can feel them and at the same time rattles or cracks from the center panel are taking a toll on me.

Thanks for the info regarding B pillar, I'll glans through my car.

i had the same problem. it took them 3 days to find it and the sound was coming from the front door hindge, and the sound comes out of the seat belt hole.

Lobuxracer,

Can you describe how to fix the seal. I am having the same noise's from my driver side back door area near the B pillar.

my b pillar rattle occurs above 20mph, and usually lower than 40mph. it is definately coming from the adjustable seat belt area. when i move my seat forward quite a bit, it stops, so it must have to do with the angle of the pulley. my passenger side sometimes has it, but less so than the passenger side head rest rattle.

Use the exact same procedure they describe for the sunroof on your door seal. Believe it or not, the sound seems to be coming from the B pillar itself, right out of the hole where the seatbelt goes in, but in my case and Dj_AmtraX's case, a judicious application of silicone made the noise completely disappear.

My symptoms were: most noticeable between 25 and 45 mph over smooth roads with rough finishes (pebble grain surface). It was most noticeable in the driver's side, but appeared in the passenger's side after time. It has been gone for a long time now and has only begun to reappear after many washes and many miles.

I seem to have this issue. Where should the silicone be applied to exactly?
