Default Squeak! Make it stop!

Started last weekend, now its bad . There's something in the pillar between the front and rear driverside doors. It happens over the little bumps and its worse today than yesterday. I've opened up both doors and found nothing and pretty sure its in the pillar now. Any suggestions? Also, how to remove the plastic on the pillar without breaking it?

Thx!

just easily pry it off with a screwdriver or trim tool. first remove the black weather stripping from inside the door(front and back doors) then you will see, just pull it off.

I have had the same squeak. Let me know what you find.

I also started getting a vibration under hard acceleration from my driver "Oh S___t!" Handle on the A-Pillar

Check the driver seat belt swivel. That's what mine was. Got a little dust or something in there and squeaked whever the driver bounced!

Haha. I was actually going to make a thread about this exact squeak (driver's side seatbelt/pillar area). Though, I haven't found it either...

PS: Let me in on the discovery too (please)?

Had the same thing. Drove me totally crazy. I'm a bit CDO

Its the seatbelt assembly. Dealer pulled it apart, clean, oil and reassembled.

What kind of oil? Thought it might be lithium grease or something similar?
