Hi Guys,
Astra J 1.6 Sports here.
I've had an intermittent rattle coming from the passenger-side A-pillar area since near-new. Not very loud, but can get rather annoying nonetheless – particularly on coarse road surfaces.
It sounds like it's the pillar trim, and can sometimes be silenced by a passenger pressing or banging it (though the exact place needing pressing seems to change).
My car is about to have it's 30,000km service, so will mention it to them then. But otherwise, I'm happy to have a go at tinkering with it myself. However, I do know there's an airbag in there which I wouldn't want to disturb.
Has anybody had a similar rattle in their car? And has anybody attempted fixing it – any hints?
Cheers
Matt
