Rattling from outside triangle trim piece

I've been getting this constant rattling whenever I hit a bump or play any music with any hint of bass. I found out that its because there is a slight gap between the triangle trim piece above my passenger side fender. My driver side is perfectly snug and does not rattle at all.

How would I go about fixing this?

I have the same exact problem!! it took me awhile to figure out that it was that piece rattling... I unsnapped the piece, and put some electric tape on the clips, to prevent it from vibrating. It helps most of the time, but once in awhile I still hear it vibrating.

you can yank it off slowly... be careful not to break any of the clips though.... what I did was yank it off, then shove some electrical tape near the clips so that the piece would not move anymore.

I was wondering the same, i was planning on covering my pillars in matching dark gray Alcantara material, that part being beige just drives me crazy..
