Quality control

My 2017 C63 S coupe with 500+ mile has some creaking and rattling sound around the cabin. Anyone else having this? Also just notice when washing my car that the hood is slightly lower than front bumper and does not sit flush.

There has been a number of posts about creaks and rattles. My Cab with 700 miles on it has some light creaks and rattles but only when going over real rough roads. The suspension is so stiff that there is nothing to give. My fit and finish on the fenders, bumpers and hood are good.

There's a long thread about creaks and rattles. I have had my fair share of them. I guess the good ol' boys and girls in Alabama just don't give the same attention to quality control as our German friends across the pond!!

If you pop your hood, look at the top of the hood. Look for the bump stops or whatever and see if they are adjustable. Some times you can turn them for adjustment.

Look at the red box area for reference.

You have to remember, I am still waiting on my car to arrive and couldn't physically check myself. I have done a lot of hood swaps and all of them usually have the adjustable part under the hood towards the front. With my luck, MB would not and the adjustment would be at the hinges towards the windshield. I guess it was there and it worked
