Mercedes finally fixed the rattle in my dash!
I took it in for a third time for this fricken clicken noise coming from the front of the dash. I had suspected it might be from the strut tower bracing and had opened the hood to see if anything was loose but of course it took a technician to properly check the torque of these bolts and sure enough the left side strut tower brace had loosened up a bit, just enough to cause it to shift while driving. The noise was near constant but now it is gone. FINALLY!!! I'm so relieved.
Anyway, if you have a cabriolet and have noticed a ticking or clicking/creaking noise coming from the front center of the dash area, check the torque on those strut tower braces under the hood. Sorry, I don't know the torque spec for these bolts.
My car is a 2017 C63 Cabriolet with approx. 27k miles on it. Totally stock, bought it CPO and have always taken it to the dealership for service.

Thanks for posting. I made a note to have it checked during my next service. I do have a creaking as you describe in my coupe and it occurs when the chassis flexes, so this could be the culprit.
