C55 door rattling

I just got my new C55 and let me tell you I love it, in addition i got the sirius added to it, installed underneath the back window. This works kinda well, but anyway here's this issue. I'm curious if anyone has noticed rattling in the front driver side door, i believe it's the trunk release button, and if it is, has anyone fixed it...Thanks

Me Too!

I'm having the same issue on my C55. Puddy isn't the way to go for a car like that!

Sorry to hear some of ya having the same issue but come on....TAKE IT TO YOUR DEALER! Why would anyone be satisfied with blue putty stuck to the button!? I appreciate what some of you are trying to do and definitely are creative but won't the dealer help fix the problem? If not, then the black electrical tape seems to be the better of the two ideas.

To me...I'd rather put up with the annoying sound(s) than to have globs of putty stuck all over my $50K car!

i work with this stuff all the time. Pop the switch out, then pop the button off. After doing that you can super glue the button to the button attachment points.
