Hi
Ive have an intermittent annoying rattle in the C pillar and wondered has anyone removed the C pillar internal plastic trim before?
If yes, please can you advise

thank you

Workshop manual below, don't always assume the noise is coming from the place where you think it is, noise travels and can be coming from somewhere completely different.

Yeah not easy to trace but been in back of car and appears to be behind the panel, thank you

Surely it's a warranty job, why should you fart about with something you're not sure about?
I had an annoying rattle in my previous car caused by me having the panel removed for installing parking sensors, it eventually rattled itself away :lol:

Yeah agree, better safe than sorry

Did you ever get a resolution to this problem? I have a rattle that appears to be from the same area.

Are you certain it's not just the classic noise of the rear folding seats latch.
A dealership fix which I think might just be cloth tape rapped around the latch?

I've had three rattles over the last couple of years that sounded like they were coming from the nearside A pillar area. One turned out to be slack in the nearside rear seat latch, cured with a block of plastic foam squashed between the seat edge and the seat back-stop just below the latch. The second turned out to be the passenger seat plastic side moulding tapping against an internal structure, again cured with a plastic foam block ( cut from a large car cleaning sponge ) wedged between the seat side moulding and the lower B pillar area. The third rattle, although it sounded like it came from the A pillar area, I traced to the nearside front fog light ' lens ' which rattled against its surround over bumpy roads. I cured this by rolling up a short length of black PVC insulating tape, flattening it and poking it longways between the ' lens ' and the surrounding trim at the top left corner.
