Is this a warranty issue ?
1 month now with my C300...........
When I am driving I tend to rest my left elbow on the door right below the window line of the door. When my elbow makes contact with the door or when I move the wheel and my elbow shifts against the door, there is a crunching noise that sounds as if I'm putting pressure on styrofoam. It's obviously the insulation in the door, does anyone else experience this and do you think it would be a covered repair?
Thanks

Sounds normal to me but if it bugs you, ask service about it.

Have you tried to ice the affected area?

1) Yes, mine does it too
2) No, I don't think it will be covered under warranty. That would be like asking if rapping my knuckles on the hood making a metallic thud would be covered under warranty
