noise on passenger side

I have a TBE exhaust for about 3 months now and sometimes when I come to a stop light the passenger side A pillar has a vibrating noise(drone). I think its the A pillars, if not its probably the passenger dash, more toward the top part I believe. Anyone else have this problem?

I've got rattles all over the place. The inside of mine sounds literally like an early 90s civic or something. A pillars, B pillar on the drivers side, dash, center console, sunroof creaks real bad when it's cold...

I had this too, it comes and goes, I think what I did was I sprayed some wd-40 on the plastic sill plate by the B pilar,,,, It seemed to do the job.

I think the b-pillar one is gone, when I put my stereo in I had all those panels ripped out. Once it warms up it's ok, but in the cold months it's really creaky and rattly inside.

No, can't say that I have that problem. I hope that I never do, it would annoy the hell out of me....good luck in finding the cause. Someone above mentioned WD-40 -- sounds like a plan bud -- just spray the interior and see what happens j/k

hate rattles. mine was bad when it was cold. i padded the inside of tha A-pillar (driver's side) with some adhesive-backed foam (home depot, very light). There's wires up in there. Seemed to do the trick. Just 30 more rattles to go..

you just need to nail them down. but the sad thing is if you eliminate the rattle on one part, it moves down to another part.

I think it's the pillars not fitting tightly. that and having a sunroof.

it only rattles if you close your door on the side. try opening your door while driving, it goes away. (lol)
