Annoying rattle fixed

rexpontius — Tue, 12 May 2026 17:26:43 GMT

Since this is a non-AMG part, I thought this could be helpful to post here as well.

My S63 Coupe had a very annoying, bit 'tinny' sounding rattle coming from the rear. Especially when driving over uneven roads.
I was finally able to find the source of the rattle.

It was the plastic frame that holds the cover behind the center armrest in the backseat.
Very easy to fix, by simply putting a few strips of joint sealing tape behind it. (see highlighted in red)

Broken center console trim piece

Good afternoon. I just picked up a 2016 S65 coupe. I was looking the the cd/DVD area and noticed the wood trim piece right above it was rattling. The piece just below the ash tray. I took a picture of the 2 stickers on the back but none of the numbers lead me to a replacement part number. Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

2017 S550 Coupe (C217) to 2018+ Facelift S560 Front Bumper Conversion � Need Exact OE

BenzMan818 — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 23:27:53 GMT

Hey everyone,

I�m planning to retrofit the 2018+ S560 Coupe front bumper onto my 2017 S550 Coupe (C217, AMG package) and want to do it properly using only genuine Mercedes-Benz OEM parts.

My goal is to achieve factory-level fitment with no warning lights, while retaining full functionality of Distronic, radar, and parking sensors. I�m trying to build a complete and correct parts list before moving forward so I don�t run into issues mid-install.

From what I understand so far, the bumper itself will physically fit, but internal mounting components, sensor positioning, and radar alignment are where things can get complicated.

I�m hoping to get clarification from anyone who has actually completed this conversion correctly.

Specifically:

Is the facelift radar bracket (A2175450040) required, and can the original 2017 radar sensor be reused without recalibration?
Do I need a specific facelift grille and radar-compatible emblem, or will any OEM facelift grille work?
Can the original parking sensors be reused directly, or are facelift-specific sensor holders required for proper alignment?
Which internal components differ between pre-facelift and facelift models (air ducts, guides, mounting brackets, etc.) that are necessary for proper fitment?
Does the undertray or splash shield need to be replaced, or can the original be modified?
Are there any commonly overlooked OEM parts (clips, brackets, mounts, sensor housings) that are required to avoid issues?

I�m trying to avoid any sensor errors, misalignment, or fitment issues and would prefer to do this once and do it correctly.

If anyone has a full OEM parts list, EPC references, or has done this conversion successfully, I�d really appreciate your input.

Thanks in advance.
