Rattle/Static annoying sounds rear deck mesh speakers.
Hi. i recently got a 2009 c300 this annoying sounds just started like two days ago. Its located on the driver side in the back by the rear deck where the mesh speakers are. when i start the car and drive for about 15mins the annoying rattle/static more like a static sounds from a radio starts to happen. sometimes it goes away for like a couple of mins then comes back. when i mute the radio it still happens. so i dont think its the raido at all. It happen while i am in park or drive and idle or any kind of mode. i looked around everywhere but no luck i could hear it in the trunk too. I dont have any warranty left so dealership is kind out of the question. please help me if i have to i probably will bring it to a benz dealer and pay for them to fix it.

I had an annoying rattle in my rear mesh/deck. It was nothing like radio static but more like a hollow ticking noise that would get progressively worse over bumps/pot holes and especially during colder weather. I'd notice it when the weather got below 60 degrees F. To remedy it, I found the foam in the trunk under the mesh. There is a metal frame that has holes in it and you can feel the foam in the holes if you poke around inside. I felt that the foam wasn't very snuck or tight so I lazily stuffed folded cardboard pieces to make the foam a snug fit. I haven't heard the rattle unless my friends are all sitting in the back and its late at night in less than 50 F weather. For the most part, my small pieces of cardboard were an easy, cheap and effective fix. If I hear it again, I'll make sure to stuff as much cardboard as I can to make sure it is permanently fixed. I hope this helps OP.

Haha I guess our cars are twins! I don't have any collaboration of pictures except an album I made to show the 20% tint to a few members on MBworld.
Maybe this is good enough lol : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2tin04crw3u5u0z/_nJqUs40pY#/
You should post a picture for your profile also!

The similar rattle I had back there was due to one of the plastic covers for the upper LATCH anchors. You can tape them down to see if that's your culprit or not.
