Default Rattle from left B pillar: how to remove?

So a rattle from my b pillar is killin me, well thats where I think it comes from because I have taken my door apart 3m taped all fastners and snapped back on nice and tight but im still rattling so my guess its from the b pillar... I have searched and searched cant find anyone else with same problem and have not found any DIY does anybody know how to remove them please? And if you have any input on my rattle that would be awesome, thanks CL!

its not the b-pillar its the door jam its need to be re tighten the metal thing that the door latch on too...trust me its driving me crazy too i rip the door panel off and insulate the the whole thing i even drove the car with out the door panel and b-piller and the noise was still there... but if you crack the window a little bit it will stop rattle.. I tried all of these fix and there is still the rattle but haven't tried tightening the door latch yet.

I had the same rattle from the drivers door. I could hear it even the stereo is on. I tried the door latch fix and it didn't work and It drove me crazy. After a while I found out it came from the plastic frame on the upper inner edge of the door. I bended it open a little bit and pushed in 2 pieces folded gaffer tape between the plastic frame and the metal frame. And the rattle is gone!!! Now I can enjoy the quiet ride again.

I found the same plastic piece rattle about a year ago. It only rattle in certain temperatures; I'll put some felt tape in there when it rattles again.

Yup just bought some felt tape to do all my plastic liners to take care of this problem, hopefully that cures it, cause I still cant see that its the door latch on my rear right passenger door
