Hi all, we love our 2015 XC but it has a squeak/creak scratchy sound coming from the B pillar area that is driving us nuts.
ours is RHD so noise is obviously from our right shoulder direction when driving.
disappears when accelerating or braking but pretty constant when cruising.
has anybody experienced this?
thank you.

 

if you press on various trim pieces are you able to make the noise stop? Do you see any signs of rubbing or folds in the door's weather stripping?

 

it’s not a plastic on plastic noise, it’s like metal scratching on metal. I suppose it could be coming from anywhere and echoing through the frame but definitely emanating from the B pillar area.

 

turns out it was the rear suspension swingarm bushes.
