Definitely take it back to Dealer immediately and demand they fix everything. My C 350 has 900 miles and is perfectly quiet, no rattles, noises, moisture, engine is smooth.

Engine does indeed sound rough the first minute or so in the morning.

4 months, 2500 miles, no rattles, ZERO problems. Definitely take it back and make them fix everything. I have the pano roof as well. Even on single-digit days, I've heard nothing from that roof.

And you can ask my service adviser to confirm this one - I can hear a rattle or a squeak from 100 yards away. I drive him crazy with our ML's rattles.

So many folks are saying "Make them fix it." Don't you think your dealer wants you to be happy with the car? And MB pays them to do whatever is necessary.
