Rear side rattle, help
Hi everyone, does anyone have this clicking rattle sound from the rear seat in their coupe?

This video is from a C Coupe, I have an E Coupe (C207) with same rattle sound, and dealership doesn't have a clue how to fix this.
Thank you

My car doesn't make that particular sound, but it does have its own repertoire of nuisance noises. It has probably spent at least one third of the time I've owned it sitting at the dealership, with them trying to sort out the various vibrations and rattles that come from the headliner in the back. They recently had it for a whole month, during which time they replaced the entire headliner and overhead console, but it still rattles. I expected better assembly at this price point. My previous 2011 BMW 3-Series coupe was tight as a drum, even on bumpy pavement.

I've actually ridden in my car with a technician, with the entire headliner removed. The vibration/rattle comes from above the back seat area. When the headliner is installed, I can mute the noise while driving by pressing on the headliner over on the passenger side, near the crossbar for the pano roof.

"for vehicles under warranty (including CPO)" - wow! They've been working on this since the original 4-year warranty, and even though we're now in the CPO warranty, it still hasn't been fixed.

Hi everyone, thank you for your time in this post. I think I have found the problem.
The rattling noise is coming from rear seat's seat belt holder. I have fastened both rear seats, and the rattle noise is 90% gone.
This car have so many rattle noise, from pano roof, suspension, rear seat to rear door panel, not to mentioned other warranty repair I have done.
This is the worst Mercedes I have ever owned.
The car is in the dealership now, because of steering wheel column and steering wheel vibration in highway.
Most likely will buy a Lexus soon, ending my 20 years of loyalty to Mercedes.

I have to agree with you. I definitely expected better build quality at this price point.
