Mysterious hose?
Strange flapping or ticking sound when going at medium to high speeds. Found this under Beatty the passenger rear tire. Just hanging there...what is it and where does it go? Why is it just hanging lol

Another round of ICE
Not certain about our cars, but I've seen this before on others....sunroof water drain hose to allow water in the sunroof opening/track area to drain through the C pillar area and down.

Looks a bit unsafe hanging like that...is it suppose to be clipped onto something?
I was gonna guess it's part of the gas tank...I heard there is a pressure or fuel hose somewhere around this side of the car.

Up, I still can't figure out what this hose is.
It's located rear right tire...almost towards the rear bumper underneath the gas tank. Why is it hanging down? For the life of me I can't figure out what it is, and the next mercedes dealership is an hour and a half away.
Anyone?

Its a drain hose, probably for the filler neck. It probably should go through a hole in the bumper or a clip. Look around for where it should go. Worst case, zip tie it out of the way.
