Default yeah... silicon spray the rubber around the door. If your car is a 2001 it may just be squeaking...

against the B-pillar, and not the B-pillar itself rattling.

Good call, I'll try that out. That sounds like it could be the cause

Default Yeah, that should do it....be sure to get the gap between the rubber and the metal around the door

frame; I took a cloth and a credit card-thin piece of plastic, sprayed the cloth down thoroughly, inserted it into that gap, and ran it around the entire strip a few times, resaturating the cloth every so often. Amazing difference!

It wears off after awhile, so you'll have to redo this every so often.
