Rattles
Anyone been encountering any rattles in their C400/300? I only have 2,500 miles on mine and I've got two really obnoxious rattles. The first one comes from the passenger seat where the seat belt clicks into. It is consistent enough where if the road is even slightly bumpy I hear it rattling when I don't have a passenger in the car with me (which is about 85% of the time). The othe rattle isn't consistent but very loud. It seems to be coming from the middle of the dash up towards the windshield. I can reproduce if I knock on the dash but it doesn't seem to happen all the time while driving so I'm not sure of the dealership will be able to reproduce it and fix it.
I'm taking the car in tomorrow morning to have these looked. Hoping they don't introduce any more rattles by trying to fix these two.
Anyone have any luck with getting some rattles taken care of by their dealership?

Today I experienced the same rattle as you describe in the upper part of the center of the dash towards the windshield. When I grabbed the edge of the center mounted screen the rattle stopped. So I assume the screen needs to be tightened at its mounting point.

Don't know if this will help.. Had a rattle coming from the centre console area the other day, worked out it was coming from the raised cover of the cup holder. Closed cover, rattle gone.

These two are definitely coming from the locations that I originally pointed out...but that seems odd that you'd have a rattle from that. That would drive me nuts as my cup holder cover is always up as that is where I put my phone as well as my morning coffee!

Yep, sounds exactly like mine. They said they should have mine fixed by Monday. I'll post an update and let you know if they were able to fix it or not.

So I've had a slight rattle in the centre part of the dash since delivery but never thought much of it... now its gotten louder and my OCD has kicked in and it annoys the hell out of me.. Those of you who have had it fixed already, did they say what it was exactly?

That does sound like keyless. Its 4/5 short chirp noises, once at startup, once a few minutes later and that's about it. I think its interference from the keyless stuff over the audio system. We're still waiting to hear from MB or other owners to see if it will ever be rectified but it doesn't bother me that much, only notice it now and then.
