Noise from Front Pillar

[martin_metal_88]

It's getting colder here ( yay sub 0 ) and I noticed that when it's very cold and I hit a bump there's a noise coming I think from the left front pillar. Like cable are moving inside and hitting the side.
Anyone know what cable are hidden there and how to remove the interior plastic cover so I can fix what is in there?
I figured out that screw are in the handle but what else do I need to know if I don't want to break it?

Thx guys!

Besides the screws in the handle, I believe there are just tabs holding it in like the ones on the side molding on the floor correct me if I'm wrong though.

Do some light pulling on the outter edges after you take out the screws and if it doesn't pop out there are mabey more screws elsewhere.

You also have to pull up the long plastic section that extends the width of the vehicle in front (inside) of the windscreen....it is on clips...gently pry it upwards.

There are wires inside there going to the curtain air bags.

Hm if they go to the air bag maybe I'm better not touch them...

Well, seems the noise isn't coming from the front pilar but most likely from the door.
Probably a loose metal cable I don't know. I noticed that my power window motor is noisy when the front driver window is lowered to about half the way so this may be part of the issue. With winter kicking in, I wont be using power window a lot so I'll just wait for the summer to be back to break open the door and see what's wrong in there. Have to say, even in summer my windows are closed all the time, I hate driving with open windows
