Angry 2015 C207 Coupe driver seat ticking noise.

Hello My Fellow C207 Owners,
I own a 2015 E400 coupe (c207 facelift) (ODO 31000Miles). I hear/feel a ticking noise from underneath the Driver Seat Recliner. This happen when i lean for the first time after entering the car, or while braking to a complete halt and accelerate back (unloading to and loading off mass).
Things Checked: The Seat rail is not loose. Removed the back plate did not find anything loose.
Equip:
  • Ventilated seats.
  • Heated seats.
  • Sports trim seats
  • MB Tech seat cover
I could localize the noise to the Left side of the left fan with in the seat. But, the fan is in place just fine.
Will post pic of the diagnosis if i open the back plate again.
thank you all in advance,

Hey Behold81,
Did you have any luck taking it apart? did you get to the root cause?

I took the back shroud of the seat apart to access/get to the noise. But, I could get beyond the seat warmer layer.

This should help, if the noise you are having is from loading the backrest.
