problems so far with my c320

SO far here is a list of problems encountered with my c320 needed to be fixed at next service, Anyone with similar expierences please post.

1. Glove Box is loose for some reason and the inside light stays on.

2. The net next to passanger foot well needs to be replaced. Threads came apart at one end.

3. There is a sound I can hear when I go over bumps. I can't figure it out. It might be the loose glove box or somewhere near the rear view mirror.

4. The lock button on the smart key is cracked.

5. The front seat head rests go up when I move the seat forward or backward. Is this suppose to be like this?

I think thats about it. Nothing major. Engine and electronics are fine.

probably both as i am having these rattle over every bump. the fix for this is not permanent. i just slam the glove box every time it starts to rattle (every 2 weeks) and as for the rear view mirror, i grab it tightly while driving over the bumps and adjust it in a position that doesn't make it rattle (every 2 weeks as well).

maybe the dealer can do a permanent fix, but i don't want them touching my interior.

The headrest thing is normal. If you have memory seats. My coupe does the same thing, but they remember where you set them so basically if you move the seat and keep putting the headrest down it should remember, but this could take a lot of time and is not worth it to me. I just set two position on my passenger seat, one for me and one for the wife. If I sit there I move it to my position because my wife likes the seat raised and I do not. The other issues of course are annoyances and you can call the dealer and get them to fix it. It is no biggie.

It may also be the seat belt on the passenger side banging against the pillar.

No, it's not the seatbelt. I think it's the loose glove box. I will take care of it at the next service.
