AMG 43 Rattles
Hi All - Picked up my GLC AMG 43 last week, and it's awesome except for one thing. There's a distinct rattle/vibration happening on the passenger side when I drive over certain rough roads. Both in the front passenger side and the rear passenger side. I have an appointment with my dealership to have it looked at, but if someone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it I'd be happy to hear it. Anyone else experience this?
Thanks!

They all do! My GLC63 rattles like crazy. Going to dealership is a waste of time, most Mercedes dealerships are useless. The only way to fix it is to put 18 inch wheels. Will not look cool , but driving will be much more comfortable.

I discovered by just opening the sunroof to the 1st level maybe 2" that he glass angles up in the rear the rattling is completely gone for me. So realize it's something with sunroof.
I did not want to do anything myself but will bring to dealership. .

Oh great. The GLC AMGs rattle too? One of the reasons why I was looking forward to getting out of a C43 coupe to a SUV was because of the damn rattle . Took it to two different dealerships two times each and they couldn’t fix the darn thing !

My 2018 w/heads up display rattles on rough roads - very annoying and the dealer doesn't want to take the dash apart to fix it. I'll probably go another direction before too much longer.

My 2019 rattle for the first mile and then any rattle are gone . I am on 21 inch wheel with the Continental summer original tires .
Last winter ,I had the Pirelli Scorpio 2 all season on and no rattle at all and the ride was much comfortable .
I am finishing the Conti tires and going to switch to the Pirelli all year long .

2019 E63s
So far no rattles in my 2020. I do have a squeak that sounds like it's from the suspension though. Multiple visits, no resolution. Doesn't always happen though.
I will say the GLC63 is way more quiet than my 19 E63s. We'll see throughout the hot summer though when things start to bake in the sun.
