Rattle by Passenger Side A-Pillar

Preeble · Dec 4, 2013

I have a rattle that appears to be coming from the base of the passenger side a-pillar. I've read other posts about potential wind noise, but this is definitely not wind noise. The rattle comes and goes, but has also been present during normal driving (no bumps, turns, etc.). The noise is the same whether the mirrors are in or out.

I felt and looked around that area for something loose and even tried to jiggle some of the parts in the area, but I found nothing.

Aside from taking my car back to the dealer (who is 90 mins away), does anyone have any diagnosis recommendations? Are there any panels that are easy to pull/pry off that would allow me to investigate further?

Thanks.

You can try removing the panel on the right side of the dash. Work it off slowly so it won't tear. There is usually a connector wrapped i foam hanging on the inside that rattles. Insulate it to see if that helps. Good luck.

Thanks - are you referring to the panel on the side of the dash the butts up against the door or one of the panels above or below the trim (that cuts across the center of the dash)? Thx
