Quote: I think I have this issue as well, from the Driver's side A Pillar, it seems more so on the Driver's Side Mirror side of the A Pillar, more noise than there should be at modest speeds. I also notice it from about 35 mph plus.

The above dealer blaming it on the PPF? What a joke. Is this what I will be up against with MB Service? (This is my first MB, was previously mostly Porsche and BMW.)
not all dealerships are created equal, might not blame the same thing at a different dealership.

Yeah it was very strange. I’m also getting random rattles occasionally, and they even claimed they “fixed” one that was near the front dash speaker cage but didn’t actually. I’m definitely going to try a different dealership with my issues, and I encourage you to do so as well. Please follow up if they end up fixing the wind noise for you!

not only do I have the wind noise, but at least 6-7 different rattle/buzzing locations in the cabin. The build quality behind the nice Napa leather is atrocious, and worse than the worst of Ubers I’ve been in

Do you have any plans to fix it like dealership visits or felt tape?

I’ve so far done around 10 sessions in my garage disassembling panels that are likely culprits, and finding insane sections of hard plastic sitting directly against more hard plastic-absolute shocking discoveries that have blown my mind as to how these were approved and placed into production. I have been creating barriers using felt fabric tape, and while I have killed maybe 4-5 rattle zones, sadly there are many many more that I can’t locate yet.

no plan to involve a dealer as I know they will be useless.

there are also substantial amounts of areas like the interior door handle, main central screen, console etc that make a “crunching up an empty plastic water bottle sound” if I drive over a rough bump.

What car do you have? Which panels have been troublesome? I have had all the panels off from the rear seats back and I found good insulation to keep things from rattling. Sounds like you're not seeing any of that?

GT55 2024. So far I’ve removed and taped up the rear panel of the hatch, the 3rd brake light and all surrounding trim (this piece is a rattling nightmare!!), the trim piece around the top of the rear seat divider area leading to the trunk, panels by the seatbelts, applied pad tape to the passenger seat belt receptacle so it doesn’t rattle against the console, both headrests rattled when not in the pushed back position, lower panels of the passenger footwell are a rattle nightmare. I’m probably missing a few as I have blacked out from rage that I’m spending my limited free time chasing this nonsense around.

but still, the worst of all, is the rattle in the trunk which triggers on when I hit the gas pedal hard, and the pitch of the rattle actually follows the pitch of the engine!!! Disastrous for the experience. Even my wife commented on “what’s that sound”?

Wow that stinks. Could somehow the little rubber/foam pieces that stop this get missed on your car?

no, I think it goes far beyond those foam washers, it’s the structure of the plastic panels sitting against, or directly on other hard plastic. This creates creaking, buzzing, and also changes severity with temperature. Brutally painful!

I'm still have not go thru with trading my 2019 AMG 63 sedan for a 2024 GT 55 despite over 20k on discounts and what I asked for my trade, I went back to the dealer and test drove the car again for almost an hr, the wind noise is there and some rattles tho I have to reall pay attention but still , build quality is mediocre at best, my 2019 does have some noises , including wind noise , I had a 2016 AMG Gt S prior and it was a rough/stiff ride lol.
Not a 100% sold on this new version, maybe with some more discounts,
