Slight rattle coming from front of cabin?
Anyone else experience this? It doesn't rattle all the time, but it's consistent when the car shakes a little. It's a VERY slight one pretty much right where the front dash mesh is. I think I read somewhere that this is common in the C63's but is there a way to fix it?

oh man, if that's your only rattle, take it as a blessing. i love my car, but this will most likely be my last C class purchase due to subpar workmanship and amenities. anywho, i digress. i'm not sure what "front dash mesh" is, but it may be your instrument cluster trim piece rattling against the dash. i jammed some felt tape in between there to shut it up. of course, i still have dozens of other squeaks and rattles going on too...
edit: disregard my front mesh comment. I know what that is.

I just read a review of the new W205 that said the interior was nice and more well put together than the interior on the new S-Class. And the new S-Class has been praised pretty heavily.

The rattle noises are pretty common in the C63 whether it's from the front or the back...it IS a C-class after all.
As for fixing the problem, that may be a bit difficult since the noise comes from several different places and it's hard to pinpoint the exact source. You fix one area, another area starts to makes noises. This is from reading what members have previously posted; some have brought it to the dealership several times and the problem still persists.
You pretty much have to live with the intermittent rattling. Sorry bud.

My command lid rattles, drivers seat back squeaks when you push back in it, and the passenger seat rattles.
The seat back adjustment panels used to creak until I lined the mating surfaces with hockey tape.
Still need to pull out both seats, fully disassemble and use something to isolate all the panels that touch. Likely hockey tape LOL.
