    hello all,
    I was curious if anyone has experienced a very subtle interior rattle coming from the drivers side A pillar area/dash area? I notice it when hitting bumps on the road or when driving off road with the radio off. It isn't very loud, but just enough to bother me. I would take it to the dealership, but I'm sure they wouldn't be any help. Would removing and reinstalling the A pillar be easy?? Thank you!

    if you figure out what it is let me know! I have a rattle coming from the passenger side and can't figure out where it's from but didn't think about the a=pillar.

    Mine was the speaker cover rubbing against the A-pillar, almost making a "tapping" sound

    I found that my drivers window rattles like an annoying buzzing noise.. Try to crack your window open a little and see if you can hear the window make some noise. if you press on the window does it make a clicky noise? I find that i have to crack the window open for a little and than close which helps stop the rattle... I think the seals aren't holding tight for some reason and the wind is causing the window vibrate or move; probably because of the heat and expansion. Mine never did this in the winter.. I hear silicone spray helps, but i have not yet been able to pick some up yet.
