Does anyone else have cabin noise in their e class?
I have an 06 E55 with pano roof. There is some cabin noise at low speeds thats really annoying. I understand that when going over turns and bumps, the pano will creak because the glass flexes. But i think there are some additional noises as well that are really annoying. The dealer added the lube to the pano roof so I don't think its that. Has anyone else had similar issues and found a solution or where the problem is coming from?

I had the same problem with my pano roof and the dealer fixed it completely. It is not normal for the pano roof to creek or make noises. Make sure you go to a dealer who has an experienced tech who knows exactly what the problem is and how to fix it. Believe it or not the fix was lubing the pertinent components of the pano roof. The noise was annoying and was driving me crazy. I was so happy to have it fixed I gave the guy who fixed it a bottle of wine.

Horrible creaking rattly noise from dash
I'm getting this awful creaking noise mainly from the long vent that runs across the dash, base of the windshield. Also my IC area is creaking and going a bit rattly too!
Have any of you dealt with the vent noise?

The only other creaking noise I have is with the steering wheel air bag cover. if I gently use my finger I can make the top edge of the air bag cover creek and this is about the only noise I have...
Just to show you how quiet the car is there was another rattling noise and I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out where it was coming from and it turned out to be the buckle of my wrist watch. The car is that quiet for me to hear that faint sound...

I was having the same annoying creaking cracking noises with my pano roof. This can be fixed but they need to know what they are doing. My dealer apparently has a pano roof expert and he made the noises go away the very first time. Basically the roof should not make any noise if it is properly serviced. I'm sold on the pano roof concept and will not buy another MB without it... It makes the car look so much nicer.

I have to always have music on or else the sounds drive me nuts, I can't even listen to talk radio news and stuff cause I get so annoyed.

Mine just constantly rattles. It's not the roof, it's the blinds when they're open. It happens at 2mph in a parking lot. It's just this low level constant creaking that drives me absolutely nuts. If I close the blinds, it almost completely goes away. I imagine it being the rolled up blinds hanging there loosely. Kontsinger has been kind enough to share all sorts of dealer bulletins on how to fix it, but not a single one of them describes a scenario with just the blinds closed, they all refer to noises in the actual structure or opening mechanism.
