Wind noise?

So happy about my new 2016 c63s but having a few problems. Wondering if anyone else has them?
Doors don't close great

Then wind noise on the freeway

Creaking in the front of the dash

Tailight gaps stick out

Reset the user interface ... There is a series of buttons you hold down to do so

Wind noise has a tsb now

Doors are hard to close?

Tsb?
And for the doors you have to kinda slam it for them to close. My wife's cls550 doesn't and my old c class was much smoother

I had exactly the same issue - right front door did not close properly - need to slam it to close. I went to garage and asked them to adjust the door. Not well done - a new issue - lot of wind noise. The door was not aligned with the center pillar. Went back, and asked them to adjust and align the door properly. Now the door surface (up,middle,low) part is properly aligned with the surface of the center pillar/back door. I still need to test whether the wind noise has gone.

Same here, wind noise...
They tried to "re-tighten" the window bracket's ( hidden behind the door cover )
It did helped for a 100 miles, then the noise came back.
Something got loose again, I guess.
I love our C63 but it start's slowly acting up, as if I bought an overpriced Mustang

It's unfortunate the poor build quality of the c class

Just a question, how would I know if I have more wind noise than I should be having?

My last car was a higher luxury land barge Lexus, so I'm already expecting the C-Class to be noisier since it is lower on the luxury chain than my last car, but how much is too much?

Beside's the noise, you have baaad wind draft ( left side ) that can cause pain in your neck or jaw and not to underestimate, ear infection's.
Soon as your neck or jaw got affected, you're in the game

Went to MB garage (3rd time) on the same issue, told them that them is a service bulletin (thanks heckflosse1963) concerning the wind noise, and asked them to follow the protocol.

Now it is perfect - the whole issue has been eliminated. It was not necessary to change the windows.

Small issues but it is good that the MB is taking seriously even small issues.
