A rattle is slowly developing and driving me nuts. I was able to locate where it is coming from, after being a passenger in my own car for 2 hours on all sorts of roads.

It is coming from the mini headliner area that connects both B pillars, especially on passenger's side. Annoying as hell! I can reproduce it by gently hitting this area with my fist. It gets worse everyday and no matter how loud I turn my audio up, my ears only pick up that rattle noise and ignore the music.

Has any of you experience this rattle and was the dealership able to fix it? Whenever I have taken my cars to the dealer for rattles, they generally fix it, but they cause twice as many new ones to pop up.

 

your dealer will fix it under warranty but just a matter of how long will last. it'll probably come back in a few months .

 

Just had my pano roof fixed on my w211 due to loose screws..what a pain.

 

Took it in today. Needs a new shade roller bar (of course not in stock) and several hours of labor. Enjoying a C300 for now.

 

good to hear they'll change a part instead of just putting felt on.

 

Good to hear they found the smoking gun , happy driving W204 300

 

My dealer removed the headliner and retorqued (fancey way to say tightened I guess) the screws. Did it under warranty. Haven't put it through its paces but was fine on the ride home.
