Yes, i test drove it, but unfortunately the roads were pretty smooth, so there was no way i would hear the rattles.

I didn't really need to test more cars, since I kinda knew what I wanted.
My next car will probably be another 911, but for now, "nina the pavement eater" will do fine...

The rattles are an issue with 2012 cars only. I just bought a C63 coupe and it has rattles in the dash above the speedo as well. A good friend of mine works as a tech for MB at the local dealership and informed me of the issue. It is cause because there are no clips holding the dash secure to the speedo area, it is only a flimsy plastic holder. MB is working on a formal solution, however we simply used some 3m tape and put in the the area of the squeak....no problems since.

Enjoy the car!

Can you tell me where exactly you put the 3m tape JT? Did you take out the dashboard and put it on the cable assembly? Or did you put it elsewhere?

Really? Keep us updated on the fix please!

I'll get back to this thread on Tuesday, I am away on vacation right now and my friend is the one who put the tape on so I really could not be very helpful until I talk to him.

Don't think it applies to all 2012s... I have spoken to others without any squeaks... luck of the draw to some extent or maybe they fixed it on more recent cars.

I do have a rattle when the moonroof is open.... just found out. damn.

I am on currently on vacation, but I did not notice any rattles in my 2012 sedan non p31... I will for sure listen more carefully when I return next week..

Hey congrats on your recent purchase.. No comment on the blue on the Shelby though..
Weird to know that the 2012 cars have the squeaky issues.. To date me C63 is clean as a whistle and loving every moment I take her out...
Hope you resolve your issues soon with MB.
By the way, what's the dev pack?

Rattles tend to be exacerbated in colder climates as the plastics expand/shrink with the change in heat, so I was told. My 2011 has a rattle that goes away when I close the radio/nav display. Other than that, I believe the headliner has a rattle right above my left ear which I think is the cover for the sunroof. I hate rattles and I had two Mustangs, a 99 and o5 GT that were very good as far as rattles.

Loved my Mustangs...

The development package is basically internal engine components from the sls, an extra 30 hp, red brake calipers, steering wheel with alacantara.

Regarding the color of the Shelby...You either get it or you don't. lol

I'mi in socal, so the cold climates you are speaking about shouldn't be a huge factor with squeaks. It's not THAT cold out here!

I'm from Detroit, born and raised 33 years. But, moved to LA 10 years ago.

I had a rattle coming from the door in the brand new 2012 coupe, they took the panel off and there was a screw with a washer on it that wasn't tightened all the way. Fixed now, thank god, was awfully irritating.

Well it turns out I do have some rattle at a slow speed/bumpy roads. So when they replace my wheels they look at the rattle issue. Service person drove along with me to check the rattle and it was determined to be there but not exactly sure where. He did try to access the easy areas and said he might have to pull out the whole dash or wait and see if it will settle after a few miles. I took the later option and if it gets worse I will let them do it. For now it's such a new baby I can't imagine it being pulled apart at this early age for a minor issue.

doesnt warranty cover that? or can it not be fixed?

It does, but I want to observe it further and see if I can take care of it. If not, I'll definitely have it fix with warranty.

Congrats have fun.

Congratulations on the new C63!
2012 here as well, no squeaking or rattling sounds at all.

No rattle but seats creak and sunroof makes a popping sound when closing.

Any more solution or maybe a TSB on this dash rattle issue with 12 c63s?

Sorry to hear about the rattles That's a bit disappointing. I was thinking maybe it just needs to settle in but if it's the dash I'd think it's the opposite. I hope you get it sorted out with your dealer.

As for me, I got my c63 used with 16k and I don't hear any rattles (and I'm OCD about that kind of stuff). The only squeaks I hear are in the suspension as I get in the car if it's been sitting for a few days. Once it's warmed up I'm g2g. I was immediately impressed with how solid everything was in the car so I'm disappointed you're getting the rattles.

As for the mustang, looks nice but I kind of agree with your move. It's nice being able to go from crazy to comfortable in one car.

The dealer took apart my seats for the same issue and felted the crap out of them... they are now silent.
