Rattle creak from rear deck of '14 507 Coupe...
I gotta figure this one out. It's driving me nuts. The rear deck of my car is creaking and rattling like crazy over less-than-perfectly-smooth roads at 25-45mph. I crawled in the back while the wife drove and it was definitely in the area of the rear shelf but nothing I did in terms of holding the different pieces made any impact. Anyone else experience this? I'd love some guidance before I leave it in the hands of the dealer. The only saving grace is that it's not intermittent, it's constant, and nobody could ever claim "unable to duplicate."

Some rattles I can deal with, some not so much. This rear shelf creak is like Chinese water torture.

Ive also noticed alot of squeaking when I roll out slowly or come to a stop, I dont think its the brake pads, but maybe something to do with the wheel bearings?? Cant figure it out and it's driving me crazy..

I have the same issue with my coupe...honestly, just chalk it up to the panoramic room...that thing creaks like crazy. I'm just used to it...and I keep my music turned up to drown it out.

In my coupe, all the creaks and rattles come from the plastic surrounding the navigation screen. Only noticeable on bumpy freeways at 60+ mph, but when it kicks in, it's so bad I want to take a sledge hammer to the navi. You'd think MB would have worked out these kinks prior to releasing a car.

as tight as the stock suspension is there's going to be some popping and creaking of plastic, no way around that especially if you add outside temperature to that such as our 100f summers here.

try checking the underbody plastic panels. one of the bolts on mine came off and another was loose and the thing was creaking like crazy. drove me insane trying to figure out if it was coming from the trunk, the door, etc.

+1 on the rear shelf rattle on the coupe. Does sound rather irritating (much more so that any other "occasional" rattle). Dropping the rear seat backs and slamming them back up semms to clear it up for a bit (it's not the actual seat backs in my case). I suspect it's the speakers or speaker grilles.

C63 Coupe
I had the same problem with my '12 Coupe.
Took it back to the dealer and they acknowledged it to be a 'known issue' (here in the UK). They added a bit more padding n stuff - and its been silent for the past 12 months.
