Driver's side B-pillar buzz/rattle??
My car is one month old and has turned over 1000 miles yesterday.
I noticed it about a week after I brought it home there has been a minor
buzzing/rattle noise coming from the driver's side B-pillar
whenever I go over even the smallest of road imperfection or bump.
I wouldn't notice it if it wasn't for the fact it's inches from my ear.
I've tried adjusting the seatbelt height, but that didn't help.
Anybody else have this?
Is there a cure that doesn't require me to take the car into
the dealer?
It's minor and can't be heard if the stereo is above 10 or 12
but it's annoying otherwise.
thanks
Edit:
Sorry did a quick search and noticed the other talk of rattles in the G35 and
the TSB that has been released (that apparently doesn't cover the B-pillar).
This is sad, I'm also a "rattle freak" and they drive me nuts.
Our 2002 Maxima that we still have has NO such rattles or buzzes.
You'd think a 2005 Infiniti (Nissan's upmarket brand) would not have
these issues either.
I REALLY hope there is a fix.

I had the same issues in both D and P side B-Pillars. There are two possible solutions.
Easy one: pry out the rectangular shaped SRS cover right above the B pillar seat belt mechanism and wrap the inside part that grips the B pillar with teflon tape. Re-install and this should go away.
Hard one: take it to the dealer under warranty and have them regrease the seat belt slide tracks in the B pillar.

I never noticed it until I installed the Stillen HiFlow AirBox. When I get on the accelerator, the pillar rattles like crazy. I complained to the dealer about it when I was under warranty, they claimed they could not reproduce the problem because they could not make the car go fast without breaking the law. What a bunch of assh0les....
