2021 C300 W205 door card/panel + glove box creaks

I’m trying to get the dealer to fix the door card/panel and glove box creaking. Whenever I hold on to the door handle the plastic creaks. It also creaks when I’m driving around. They told me it’s normal after they inspected the car.

I read on Reddit that someone had the same issue but it was fixed when they replaced the door cards. Unfortunately, I cannot find that post on Reddit anymore.

Here's a video of the glove compartment. It creaks while closing or opening. This is bad.

Also, it would be helpful if you have a W205 C300 without door card and glove box creaking, please chime in. I need to get the dealer some proof that a W205 C300 without creaking exist in the wild to get my point across that this should not be normal.

Sadly, from my experiences, it is normal but that definitely doesn't make it right or acceptable.

My W205 C300 had creaks and squeaks in the dashboard, center console and door panels, and my newer W213 E43 is no different... it's a creaker and squeaker too.

I think it's all the joints where plastic meets plastic that makes everything so creaky. I wish they would add small pieces of cloth tape in manufacturing wherever plastic meets plastic.

Thanks for the reply. We love the car. It's really everything we wanted, but these two items are the only things that are bugging us. I'm sure we may get used to it but I thought it was worth getting them to address it when it's under warranty.
