Rattle from exterior trim piece below a-pillar

[BDinTX]

Shortly after installing our lift I noticed a rattle periodically coming from outside the Jeep. At first I thought it was from outside the firewall down low (adjustable track bar?) but it was faint and not constant. Finally I realized it was the exterior part at the bottom of the a-pillar.

It was loose where the top bolts are
but tightening them didn’t help. After taking it off I realized why - the top bolts have a shoulder on them that bottoms out before the part is snug.

I put some neoprene washers under it and I think the problem is solved.
