Hello Forum,

I've been checking in to see if anyone else has this problem, but I haven't seen anything in the last few months--rattling in the pillar between the driver & passenger door windows.

I have had it to the dealer twice, and the first time they said they popped off the cover & didn't see anything, so they put it back on & didn't hear any rattle on the test drive. It was still there.

The second time they kept it for two days, apparently grinded down a piece of plastic that was too long & rattling against a piece of metal inside the pillar. They said they put it back together, put some lube on it, and didn't hear any rattle afterwards. The rattle is still there!

To make sure it wasn't just my ears, I asked my wife and a co-worker to see if they heard it, and they did. Next step is back to the dealer to take a tech in the car with me and jam his head up against the pillar until he hears the rattle!

Anyone had this problem or have any other suggestions?

Thanks
