I have 2013 E350, that makes noise in rear while entering the garage. I have to go under the building complex to the garage, and it is a steep grade, and the noise seems like creaking noise, this happen 90% of the time. I asked the dealer and of course, they could not replicate it so I am stuck trying to figure out were this noise come from.

Do you have the pano roof?

Yeah, sounds like the pano roof. The bolts get loose, only happens when you go over a ramp at an angle so the body flexes. If you hit it straight on it doesn't make the noise. Someone had a DIY video on how to fix it. Use loctite on the bolts so they don't get loose again.

My 2013 has a pano roof. This noise does not happen when I brake.

Then it's probably the bolts in the pano roof. When turning into the garage, is it at a steep angle or is there a ramp? The body ends up flexing at that point, think of a box and twisting it. The flex makes noise when the bolts are loose. Happens when one wheel is higher than the other.

So what do I do, live with it, or can it be fixed?

I think someone fixed it.
