Piece of plastic trim missing on interior B-pillar

Hi guys,

Yesterday I got a 2015 IRR Coupe R, and it's great - except for what I consider excessive wind noise behind the driver seat when going in higher speeds.

I took a closer look and saw that a piece of plastic trim - like a plastic cover of sorts - is missing over a screw in the B pillar, and it looks like the screw has been tampered with. It also looks like the interior trim over the B pillar isn't perfectly fitted. See attached pictures for illustration.

So questions popping up in my mind are:

- Can replacing the plastic cover get rid of the wind noise?
- Can there be something else not refitted the right way creating the sound isolation problem, if there was work done there previously?
- Why would you be unscrewing that bolt to begin with? Should I be worried that there's some other problem that I haven't discovered?

Thanks a lot!

/Jonas

The wind noise behind your head is to with quarter light not being pulled up tight. It is a known issue and there are other threads on here. I would get a dealer to sort out both window and trim. Hope that helps. Phil
 
If the previous owner had a problem with the same wind noise, perhaps that’s the bolt that needs tightening hence the cover missing.
 
I found the missing piece under the driver's seat, so now it looks OK. I also found the thread on how to tighten the quarter glass, so noise problem solved.

Thanks for the help!
 
Where was that thread on how to tighten the quarter glass please? Also, how does the cover go on and off? I have a rattle in my driver's B pillar so just wondering if it's to do with the glass.
 
I’m looking for the same info. In the meantime here is a pic I found of the glass showing it’s mounting points.
