That makes sense. Fortunately, no creaks or rattles here (my 211 had some, but it has higher mileage of course), even with the pano roof, although I guess it's hard to tell what you're hearing, when you're going over rough surfaces. It sounds mostly like a bunch of uneasyness coming from the tires contact with the road and suspension/wheel size not designed to do enough to absorb that.

Design flaw? Nein!
I figured it out with your help and have done this video to help others:
WTF, are you reading my mind? I was just thinking the same thing. I was just thinking that they cost cut my eye glass holder from the W211 but they have this stupid useless f-ing web thingy by the passengers feet. Can a brother get a beep instead of a horn when I lock my car intead of this stupid MFPOS.

You pull out both the top plastic strip and the webbing and place the bottle in it. Otherwise the bottle may slide through the plastic strip.
Not something Americans would want to use probably due to DUI laws. At least not an open one.

We have found several uses for the netting, to place thin items that you want to find easily, such as a thin box of Kleenex tissues.
My wife has a Handicap Parking placard. In our other car, we have to get creative finding a place to store it when not in use. In the W212, the placard has found an easy home in the netting, and it is beyond easy to grab it and hang on the rear view mirror when needed.

Further, look at Tusnik's video (post 52)...
The bottle hoop works even better when you hang one of those plastic door sill drink holders in the hoop (held in place by the OEM bottle hoop). With it's own hoop and molded bottom, you have an temporary third drink holder when needed.

On the subject of the horn. Mercedes owners have every right to be P'O'd. This is a Mercedes after all, and a lot of what you pay for is the little details. Having it honk like a cheap Dodge is ridiculous. If M-B cost cuts the most initially audible and stereotypical "Luxury Car" effect ("Chirp Chirp"), then who knows what they're gonna cost cut next. The sky's the limit at this point.
I'll take a Benz over a Ford, GM, or Mopar, any day, unless it's from the 60s.
