Rattling noise is driving me insane
The website won't let me upload the file or even the link to have you guys watch this video but does anyone know what this rattling noise is?
Below is the link to the YouTube video. It sounds like this rattling noise is coming from either the front speaker or inside of the dashboard and I can't figure out what it is. Don't mind the shots of the sunroof, I was having a rattling noise coming from the panoramic roof that later ended up completely breaking and I have an appointment to have that fixed but I have no idea what this noise is.

There are a couple of TSBs related to the screen, door speakers and the center speaker.
Damn - that's pretty bad though. Sorry!!!

That's what I thought to do at first but it's literally something inside the dash it seems.... I also have an issue with the screen creaking and the glove box rattling as well.

My guess is the center dash speaker grille. If pressing on it stops the rattle, that's your culprit. It just snaps into the dash, so you can pry up an edge and lift upward and it'll come out. I put a few strips of foam tape around the perimeter on the underside (between the clips) and it cured it. Or the dealer can handle it.

I had a few rattles that were that bad when I first got my car. I had it in the shop at least 5-6 times to get them fixed. Honestly, that sounds like there's something in the dash that has come loose (or something in the sunglass holder )
I also had my sunroof repaired after it failed (complete mechanism replacement), and the fabric cover had to be replaced about a week later when it also failed.
The TSB for the C400 Burmester speaker rattle fixed a lot for me, but still have a few noises from them from time to time..
That being said, the car is still fantastic, and I've been able to get most of the minor-major things fixed already.
