Pillar B rattle on driver side - SOLUTION!

For last two days I noticed an intermittent rattle in driver side pillar B. Then I noticed that it only occur when I wear my leather waist belt. It seemed it was rubbing with the seat leather on uneven roads. However everytime I listened, I thought it's coming from the seat belt 3 point adjuster over my left shoulder. When I do not wear a waist belt I do not hear it. May be the same reason lot of people might experience it.

Lesson learnt: TL is not for a wel-dressed people. Always wear casuals if you do not want a rattle.

What are you talking about? There's no common B-pillar noise or at least I haven't seen any post on it. If your talking about wearing a belt with dress cloths...I do it all the time and don't notice any noise. Are you thinking that the leather-on-leather noise you heard is the same as the "wind" noise some are claiming to hear?

I do not know if there is any common pillar B rattle. I just noted my experience. Even I wear belt all the time however just noticed this rattle two days back. I never even had any rattles in the begining. I remember reading about rattles on seat belt adjustment on pillar B and thought this might help somebody. However, this is not about the "wind" noise some are claiming about.

There is a real rattle coming from the seat belt adjuster. The plastic adjuster located in the pillar B sometimes comes loose. If you adjust the seat belt tensioner up or down, it seems to at least temporarily resolve this issue. The plastic nob/button that allows movement of the seat belt makes the rattling noise.
