Internal A-pillar trim...annoying rattle???

Post by derin100 » Thu Jul 27, 2017 9:02 pm

I have an annoying rattle coming from the driver's side A-pillar trim.

On the passenger side I can see there's a piece of foam padding near the bottom between the trim and the windscreen. On the driver's side this appears to be missing. Could it just be this thing alone that's causing the rattle???

No idea! Post a pic of the driver side? :) then I may be able to help, had the trims off on both sides searching for the pillar airbag module sensor thing!

Stick something in there and see if it stops? Rolled up socks or some fabric?
