yes they tend to do that. we have three E-class with panoramic roof, and they all do that, started after 10000 kms.
Dealer had a look at them and used special mercedes lubrication. bit better, but still rattles.

Have creaking on my Pano when backing out my driveway....Dealer replace a rear panel but still creaks. They are willing to replace the entire Pano but I can live with the creak for now. I would still get it over again!

Pan-roof rattles
Had mine 6 months 2006 e350.
Pano roof creaks and rattles on Maine's pothole.
Unfortunately New Hampshire dealer unable to duplicate noise as their roads much smoother. Also seems temperature related

I absolutely LOVE my pano!!! 3+ years' experience, now. I haven't had any creaking problems with mine. I'm at the beach, so I have a pretty stable temperature here. Also, I don't need to park in the sun much. I don't know if that helps, but it might.

SoCal always garaged kept...mellow beach climate / Mine creeks on occasion but I could really care less...LOVE the fact that my car is, for the most part, unique with that big black roof....love the look from the outside (and inside) and it would take a lot for me to give it up

Pano Roof Rattle
Ok...Mine started to rattle at 25,000 miles.
Dealer asked me when was the last time I washed the car ?.
I said a couple of weeks ago and the weather was ALSO DRY.
The technician said that the seals have dried out and would lubricate the track and seals to resolve the problem.....GREAT NO MORE RATTLES
Three months later the poblem is back.
I bought a can of spray grease ( the type you would use on a chain saw )
I applied it to the slides and channels... NOW,SIX MONTHS LATER IT,S STILL SILENT.
Quick $4 fix with a can of spray grease + 3 minutes of my time.
Les ...Chesterfield...England.

When backing up my driveway and the rear tires touches the street is when you hear the creak of the Pano(Body Flex). It's very subtle that I'm going to live with it but noticeable if you're paying attention.
