Rattle in side pillar??

[BerndM]

I have an 03 EB 4WD and for the last year or so, there has been a rattle coming from what appears to be inside the body pillar next to my left shoulder. It seems worse when going around a left hand turn.
Is the something INSIDE that pillar that can cause this obnoxious noise?
Thanks

You mean other than the shoulder harness height adjustment hardware? You'd have to take the trim off and look. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

I have that same noise> I have already checked each door now its time for the pillar. Gotta find time to do it. I will let you know if I find something.

After doing some testing, I have found that the noise I hear from the pillar seems to only happen on a left hand turn or curve.
It sounds like it is right next to my head but looking at a diagram of the seatbelt mechanism, it is way down by the floor.
It looks like getting the plastic trim off that pillar is a real PITA operation.
I will investigate further.
