CLK 430 Cab rattles

Hi eveyone,
I just bought a 2000 430 cab, I love the car but I have a slight vibration at different speeds between 50 - 80. I have new wheels and tires , all balanced. I also have a sqeek/rattle coming from the top. Any one have the same symptoms?

I have the same car except 2002 and I have no problems like this. I would suspect possibly the drive shaft. If you have access to a lift to maybe get under it to see if anything looks unusual. The squeek and rattle might be that the top needs an adjustment.

Hope this helps.
