If you can feel it in the steering, then how can it be related to the interior trim? That’s what I would ask your technician.
And tell him to check the antiroll bar bolts torque.

Good idea. Take it to another dealership.
I would not worry about the dash removal. It looks bad, but a competent tech will put it back and you won’t notice anything different. But I can’t see how it’s related to something behind the dash if you can feel the issue through the steering column.
These cars are well engineered, especially the GT - MB wouldn’t put a suspension adjustment in a spot that required the dash to be removed to access.

@Gp17gt You should try what @Katie22 did here (https://mbworld.org/forums/coupe-roa...ml#post8068964)
Note that she added felt as well (most recent post right now).
Also, I’m not sure if Loctite is recommended here.

I totally get. I would feel the same as you.
You can do what @Katie22 did by yourself. She did it herself. I would start there. Does not seem difficult.

AMG-GT Roadster
Our problem solved….
I think I may swap this amg GT in for a s63 coupe. There are way to many creaks and cracks going on inside the cabin. I believe suspension related. It’s always in slow left turns and slowly driving up on uneven surfaces. Someone mentioned re tighten the shock strut brace nuts. But I’ll give the dealership a shot to fix this if not they offer car take back for same value or more at this MB dealership.
Whe had the same kracks and sounds when driving a bad road and could not find it.
Whe tought it was inside the dashboard.
Then whe pulled open the hood and drove again and the sound was gone.
It was the rubber that comes against the hood on the inside.
Whe oiled the rubber and it was gone.
I hope that whe help somebody with this simpel solition.
