Solved problem!
The technician said that he tried to find the cause by re-reading your solution that I printed out.
As you said, he found a sheetmetal part that was hidden deep inside the B-pillar. He also found that the metal part was too close to the car body, causing friction.
Today, I also...
Sharing service progress.
Repair service was completed but it did not improve at all.
My GCL was brought in for service on the scheduled date, and I expected the repairs to be complete in a few days.
Fortunately, they provided me a loaner car.
It has been a week since the repair started, and...
I'm still waiting for Weathertech's product to launch. Weathertech only released mats for the 1st row.
Jeep's mat looks good enough too. But it doesn't cover the bottom between the middle of the 2nd row and the 3rd row.
I put passengers in the 2nd row in my car and they step on the area between...
I keep looking at my photos as I share my thoughts with you.

As you said, it is suspected that the silver metal and the black metal are too close together to cause noise.

I thought again, and if I want to lubricate that area properly, it seems that I need to lubricate after loosening the bolts.
But I am...
@JeepCares Any suggestions on this?
I am still waiting for the scheduled service in 2 weeks. I don't know if the dealer trying to fix my car will come up with a solution.
I applied silicone spray and silicone grease to the area indicated by the arrow in the photo.
A 'SILICONE spray' NOT 'WD-40'
BUT, This method did not reduce the noise.
I recently purchased a GCL Limited, and 3 days after purchase, the same squeaks and rattles noise as your car.
I remembered what Axg1040 mentioned and looked into the lower part of the B pillar.
The thing connected to the black sheetmetal is presumed to be a seat belt pretensioner, and he said...
