Unhappy E43 Sedan B-Pillar/Driver Door Area Rattle with pic

Hello guys, I have already checked the W213 AMG rattle thread and I could not find any solution for my specific rattle. Ill attached some photos but my rattle is super weird.
During bumpier or uneven roads there is this buzzing/rattle coming out of my left ear/B-pillar area but I can sort of stop it by pressing the driver side door handle(top part of the handle/trim area) and the buzz or rattle will go away.
Any solution???? Dealership replaced the B pillar trim and the Seatbelt adjuster and it would not help the rattle/buzz. Thanks guys

Noise/Rattle/Buzzing Noise area.

I can stop the buzz/noise by pressing hard on the circled area. For example, resting my left elbow on it by using excessive force to hold it.

I had the same rattle on my '19 E63 and now on my '21 E63. Never tried pressing down on the armrest but will give it a shot next time I drive it.

It seems like the noise is from the B pillar ish area but im not completely sure if it ha something to do with the doors or just B pillar connecting to the doors. Im doing extensive testing by myself because dealership is so incompetent at fixing it. I can somehow stop the rattle if I press the door with my left elbow or my left knee pushing out... wtf

If I had to guess, I bet its something in the door latch / door striker. Those 2 items are metal to metal.

Try to locate the plastic trim on the door when opening your door, its the black trim on top of the door latch lock mechanism. that part might be loose. Its also stated in another rattle thread here

I have a 2022 E53 with the same exact issue. I can't figure it out. I used Gummi Pflege on the door gaskets, used the business card method mentioned above, and also tried to stuff some felt tape in the hard plastic trim along the top corners of the doors. No fix yet. Anyone else figure this out? Drives me nuts. It's like a faint creaking/crinkle noise that sounds like rubber on rubber or plastic on plastic rub.

Did anyone ever fix this b-pillar rattle? I have already took the door cart apart and added some felt tape on different parts but it is still there ... I don't even know if it comes from the driver door or the pillar trim
