GLC AMG 63
I've had both of those issues in my 43. The sunglass case rattles like a ****, so I don't keep anything in there. And I had my sunroof rattle repaired within two weeks of owning the car. Everything is fine now, but I do feel a little let down by the build quality of my Benz. No one should spend $70k on a car only to have it rattle. Luckily my dealer is top notch.

I noticed rattles while driving country roads the first day I took delivery of 21 GLC63S but accepted that this was the norm.... Maybe I will bring it to the dealership.

I also feel the car is a lot buzzy on country roads and shared the feedback with the dealership but they mentioned it's kind of expected because of how the suspension has been tuned.

I don't know if I got used to the rattles or they went away in the last 5 month of ownership, but I don't really notice any excessive rattles anymore.

I got couple crickets in mine year later somewhere around drivers side door or hvac vent and center console cover, my temp sensor wires got short due to assembly error like 2 weeks after i got the car and now it sits at the dealer for 2 weeks as they r trying to figure out and fix misfire \ limp mode issue. Dunno, if it goes down the way it is now i can try to lemon it, cash out and get some 2021 E63s maybe..

The car is at the dealership for the right rear air suspension issue. I found the car in the morning with the right rear wheel almost under the fender and a message on the dash "please wait the vehicle is rising" once I started it. I was able to drive it to the dealership but I was hoping for more than my current 29.9K miles before I have to deal with air suspension issues. Still under warranty for another 5 months. I have already replaced all 4 air struts on my wife 2014ML63 at 70K.

Have any of you noticed these minor things? Some unknown material sticking out from under the windshield (red arrows). MB body shop allegedly fixed that under warranty but I just saw it today. It's difficult to see it when you are seated.
There's also something that looks like a crack in the bottom left corner of the windshield (circled in yellow). Also, the lefthand corner joint of the dashboard doesn't meet like the righthand side (circled in red).

AMG GLE 53 Coupe
2024 AMG GLE 53 with a rattle in the back of the headliner area. Dealer determined I need a new sunroof frame, but, the part is on backorder and it may take several months. I also have a “clunking” sound from the actuator when starting and they call it normal. This was my first Mercedes and will probably be my last because of these problems.

Ended up lemoning the car this summer. Out of 3 yrs of the ownership this thing spent close to 1 yr in service. True lemon with neverending misfire - limp issues, various electric glitches, rattles etc. Still want E63 but they are so rare with the combo of the options id like.
