Has anyone noticed a rattle like something's loose when you hit some bumps coming from the B pillar on the driverside? I thought it was the seatbelt assembly but I had someone hold onto it and it seemed to be coming from somewhere else in the pillar close to the top.
Driver side B pillar rattle?

I have found the exact spot where the noise is coming from. It looks like the window but it is not. It seems to come from the top but it is only sound propagation. The culprit is the door lock.
Sorry for the photo, it's just an example.

As a demonstration try to knock on the open door and you will not have vibrations. Close the door ajar and the vibrations will start as soon as the lock engages the b-pillar. With the door ajar, you can understand exactly where the noise is coming from.

I will try to fix with some silicon oil or trying to fix the screw. If this fix not work i'll go to the dealer. Please can you test if ratling is from your door lock?

I have found where to put a piece of foam to stop the rattle. Is not a real solution because Is very ugly to see it when the door is opened. I drive for 100km with foam a no rattle...is a dream run without any annoing sound.
I am investigating why this piece of foam stop rattle and fix it....if i will not able to fix the rattle i will explain at dealer what i do and hope he can fix it. If anyone is interested i can publish a photo.

I have put Meg's tire Endurance gel on same place where @ikxdf put foam and also where front door rubber seal contacts back door rubber seal and for now no probs, it will be washed out for sure but it will confirm that these locations are making noise - for now it seems so, as there is no noises.
Maybe it would be most easier to permanently glue it.

But there Is a correlation from front and rear door: from externat if you punch the front Door you can hear rattle. If you open the rear door rattle disappear. Put foam like my post fix the issue i don't know why and...i don't want to know why! 😅
Rattle Is gone away and i'm super Happy!
I applied foam in this exact same location. You know you can stick your foam vertically behind the rubber so it will look nice =pI think that i have found the culprit!
No rattle with this easy fix! This Is a temporary fix to show you where put the foam. The solution Is fill this plastic "bag".

PS: try this and thanks me for the rest of your Life
I must say, I am not sure if this is going to fix it in the long run though. Do report back once you drive the car for a month or 2

I was thinking of doing this also. It is at the very upper corner left just below the window. This gap appears bigger on the drivers side than the passenger side. Not sure what is going on here.

Sorry no pic right now. But it was a misaligned clip that the window tint people didn't put back correctly.
I had to pull the door card off, remove the upper left corner clip out of the door frame. Slide it onto the door card and then push everything back on that way. It's all good now. There's a video on YouTube about this special clip.

I actually haven't been listening for it recently. I noticed way more in the winter early mornings when its dead quiet outside. Also the rattling from my glasses in the cubby overpowers every other rattle lol.

None of this has improved the rattle for me.
