On my car it was the air vent outlets in the B-pillar, making this annooying noise.
It only took 6 months to figure out........ :-(

I think ai have the same rattle with the airvents in the B pillar. How did you fix it?

Thanks Craig

I am approaching 30k miles on my '13 car. They have done the B&O center channel fix and I think it has made things worse. I am also noticing a buzzing from my front door speakers on certain frequencies, are the speakers blown?

Also just hearing rattles in general in the interior, what is this about the B-pillars? Is there a bulletin.

I've got the B pillar rattle. It's irritating and comes out mainly on rougher stretches of the interstate. It isn't the seatbelt. That's an easy fix.

I had the door speaker issue and turned out the Amp was faulty and getting red-hot. they changed both the speaker and the amp and that cured it...

good luck!

Mine rattles from all sides, but the most annoying thing is a metallic buzz from the drivers door trim when on the phone or listening to mono radio transmissions.

Did you ever figure out what it was that caused this? I have this same problem.

Hello all,
I too have this really annoying plastic rattling noise coming from what seems like the rear passenger side. It only happens over certain bumps and sounds like shutters moving up and down. I thought I might be from the B pillar rear AC vents so stuffed them full of tissues but the noise still persists!!
I asked the GF to drive while I tried to pin point the noise in the rear. To my confusion in the back it sounds like its coming from the front of the car. This is driving me crazy anyone have any similar experience or any ideas on a fix or potential culprit
