Squeaking noise from C pilar

Hello everyone,

I have a very annoying squeaking noise coming from the back right side of the car. I have checked the suspension and everything is ok. I hear it usually when the car is going over some bumps or when changing direction . It sounds like plastic squeak located somewhere behind the rear right seat or above the wheel. Has anyone experienced the same problem?? If yes how was it solved?? I also wanted to try to take out some plastics but I am afraid due to the location of the airbag. Has somebody tried to remove those part safely??
I am posting a picture of the location of the sound if my description was not so clear.

Thanking you all in advance

Alex

I was in Bratislava a couple of weeks back, so a few FL2 driving around, mainly Silver ones.
Someone will be along with some pointers for you, welcome to the forum Thumbs Up

The side panel has a few plastic lugs, if one of them is not in correctly that could cause a sqeak. If you have a look on YouTube at fitting rear tow bar electrics I think there is a video on how to take that panel off, quite easy to do.

Lol
Unfortunately to remove that "c pillar" panel you need to remove the rear cargo area/wheel arch liner and to remove this you also need to remove the rear tailgate striker cover. It's actually really easy to do.
The "c pillar" cover is even easier. That "airbag" sign is actually an access panel to a torx screw underneath. Flip
this access panel open, remove the torx screw and then the whole cover is held on by 3 clips. A tug is usually enough to pull it off. MY15

Put some silicon spray around the door seal and then see if that makes the squeak go away?
