The drivers side b post is creaking when I drive along, It's driving me abso-bl**ddy-luteley loopy, does anyone know how to fix it, I seem to remember a few people having this problem in the past, but I didn't take much notice cos mine wasn't doing it then.
Your help would be very much appreciated before I go totally loopy!
Cheers
Ron

Hi Ron,
Are you sure that it is in the b pillar, because i thought that to until i went looking to fix the problem in my MY00 WRX and found that it was in the rear door at the top right next to the b pillar. I took the rear door trim off and had someone sit in the back and press on the top of the door and went for a drive and found that it would stop, so i put some sponge on the back of the door trim to press onto the steel door shell and it fixed the problem for me. If that didn't work try some of that stick on bodydeadener that the stero people use "DYNOMAT" or try your local body and paint shop for the stickon bodydeadener. Hope this helps you fix your problem.
Cheers.

I'm glad someone has come up with a possible cure.
I've just had the trim off and it still made the creak, I'll give the foam thing a go, shouldn't be to difficult to find a bit of foam, I'm an upholsterer by trade.
