I usually get the B-pillar and sometimes the rear swing gate rattle. I just need to add some electrical tape to the door hinges to tighten them up.

x2 on the striker panel on the door jams, i just had to do the electrical tape to mine and the sound went away. Does it sound like its coming from the doors?

I have the same thing. And my deafness makes me have no clue where it is coming from. I went over washboard roads and no sound. Hit a speed bumpat 20 no sound. But, when I go over a dip or a crack in the road fast enough, it will give a small rattle? I'm paranoid about my wheel spacers now.

I need to try the electrical tape, I have the same issue. Do you just wrap it around part the door latches to?

I know my rattle is from the door because its not there when I don't have the doors on.

The dealer said another thing I could do is to loosen the striker and move them in slightly, this will make a tighter seal with the Jeep and should take care of it. I just haven't done it yet.
