I'm sure others have this annoying rattle/vibration, because it's on both sides of my car.

Right near my ear where the seatbelt is attached to the pillar there is a vibration/rattle most noticeable on a coarse road surface.................don't hear it much on a very smooth road.

I can hear it from the passenger pillar too.

I can make it stop just by pressing my finger on the pillar while I'm driving, but obviously that's not the greatest idea in the world. Anyone got a fix for it? I haven't really tried to fix it yet, but it's kind of annoying since it's about 2 inches from my ear, so if someone already knows how to make it stop that would save some time.

Still love the car.............just a minor rattle & squeak here & there.
 
i just noticed this exact same thing on both sides too on coarse roads. One day i will just take the pillar apart and see what's going on.
 
Let me know if you fix it.
I've been to lazy to bother or I just turn the radio up.
I might take a look one of these days though.
 
Mine does it too. It couldn't be anything more than a bad design on a clip or a washer that needs a little soft padding. If it gets real annoying I'll take off the panel and inspect it.
