Persistent rattle in rear passenger C pillar

I have the same rattle, only notice it going less than about 45mph

I also have that rattle - driving me absolutely nuts - wonder if there is a TSB on it?

I kept having stuff come up on the weekend, and the rattle kinda sorta went away. It is now back with a crystal clear vengeance. I have a Friday off this week which I plan on messing with this. If I find it ill try to take a couple pictures if it works out that way, Im hoping its incredibly obvious behind that panel.

I recently latched my passenger side seat belt to see if that helped. There seems to be some play in the shoulder adjustment but I can't really locate the noise. I had my wife drive and I was in the back seat attempting to locate the rattle and it seemed like the sound was bouncing off the hard surfaces and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. At one point I thought it was the sunroof, I would open it up all the way and close it and it seemed to stop it at first but it's not anymore, probably a placebo effect. Can't wait to figure this out. I did just get my 24 RR this week but haven't driven it more than the 3 miles home so will be interesting to see if it has the same rattle.

So this wire going into this clip has a lot of play and makes a tap/click noise. Everything else in there is pretty tight. Let me know what you think. It’s a weird cord…seems like it has something to do with keeping the panel from flying around at 300 mph when the airbag deploys. It makes a lot of noise. I’m going to try some duct tape and see what happens.

Drove around with it all ripped apart …same noise.

I'm convinced mine is something on the back of the cab or the bed itself. I have a 23 as well.

I drove to work today with it tap tap tapping away and it was louder with the C pillar panel pulled back. Its so loud lol

So here is what I found after having the same noise. Put a little silicone grease where this little spring piece rides on both sides. It’s right above your head in the roof channel. Couldn’t believe that little thing made so much noise.
