Creaking sound
We are happy owners of a 2017 GLC300. One frustrating issue has been creaking when going over bumps at an angle (most often driveways at slow speeds). We brought this in and our service adviser believed it was the sunroof and tightened the bolts however the sound persisted. It is currently back at the dealership and they believe they have found the issue to be the rear left seat latch which they adjusted and lubed.
I will update the post when I get it back to see if the issue is resolved. Anyone else have this problem?

I heard creaking noises too coming from passenger side. One day opened glove box and left it open for a day creaking and noises stopped almost immediately. Next day took it to dealer Service guy didn’t believe me but took it in to keep overnight. Next day tech took it for a spin and confirmed coming from glove box area. Lubed/greased something and added extra cushion/padding box area and creaking has stopped. Now I get a creaking noise once or awhile from a bump or pothole but not as bad as before.

So the creaking is essentially gone for now! They identified the left rear seat latch as the culprit...they tightened it and placed a lubricant of some sort
They stated the sound was gone when the seats were down and that's how they identified it. I would try that and see if you notice the creaking sound disappearing.

I've had this right rear creaking noise when I back into our driveway at an angle. Add this to the brakes and the wipers. I should have listened to our independent mechanic in Cleveland: Hondas and Toyotas.
