Default Annoying squeak in A pillar ...

Not a major item here, but I have had a annoying squeak resonating from the left A piller. The dealer looked at it twice and said it was a cable inside. The work order said they had removed the interior A pillar frame and straightened the cable. ?? It's not that type of squeak .. it's like a "hard plastic rubbing hard plastic" type squeak. Anyone else have this? When I hear it (always), it reminds me of that old truck in the old "Walton's Mountain" tv show shown on cable re-runs.

I get noises from mine at higher speeds. It comes from the passenger side though. I had the outside plastic trim replaced and it fixed the problem temporarily until the trim cracked again, a month later. It seems to be a common problem. Is your trim on the outside lifting up? Wind gets in there and makes noise. Sometimes squeeking, sometimes cracking.

Yep, I've already gone through all of that A pillar and roof rail replacement stuff in the beginning when I got my 3. This squeak is heard somewheres around where the A pillar touches the dash, in my opinion. It's an annoying little squeak that is first heard around 15mph .. like a creaking sound. (Not the same as the roof rail/exterior A pillar issue). This may be something I'll just have to live with. I've had my H3 2 years today ... maybe it's beginning to settle in.

Is that what they call trail creak? Too much offroading and things start to make noise. I try to tone mine out, I'll pay attention on the way home today, I think I have the same sound, as well as A=pillar trim racket/cracking windshield sound.

I chased that sound for about 4 weeks. I put foam rubber pads underneath the A piller trim. I lubed the draintube. The drain tube was taped to clamps along the A piller and was off in one spot. I used a wiretie to reclamp the drain tube to the clamp. I did a bunch of things at once before the sound went away. It wasn't scientific, but the sound was killing me.

THANK YOU!! It makes sense to me! You're right .. it's not scientific, but that squeak/creak is enough to drive you crazy! I swear .. as soon as I begin driving my ear tunes in to listen for the squeak/creak!

I have been suffering with the same kind of noise.

Has anyone found the way to fix that annoying noise ?

This may sound nuts but I have fixed many "A Pillar" noises by relocating park brake cable away from the body right below the front of drivers door, the noise transfers up and sounds like its coming from the A pillar. May not be your problem but worth checking.

Had one where thought my mirror was making a noise. Turned out to be a wire lead run up 'A' to roof lights. Once secured with a wrap no more mystery sounds

I had this horrible squeeking rattling sound coming from the cargo area, just this horrible squeeling and rattling. Turns out it was my exwife, I forgot about her, boy was she pissed when she found out I bought a Hummer.
