Creaking in passenger upright pillar on 2021 GLE 450?
Was wondering if anyone has had this issue and if so, what fixed it?
The creaking seems to be coming from the upright passenger pillar between the front and back door. When going about 40 MPH on a street with a few bumps you can hear the creaking sound. This just started for some reason. It's loud enough you can notice it. As the wheels work on the road, there's the creaking too. On the freeway, you don't hear it.

Try to move the passenger seat belt adjustment trim piece towards the upward position. It may solve your problem. I had a small noise coming from the area and that did the trick. I have had it in other Benzes...
