Creaking and Cracking Inside the Cabin
So my brand new GLE 53 with 1k miles has begun creaking noises badly, these things are usually isolated to a single part of the interior but this time I have it in full surround sound. For perspective my previous car, a E53 had this issue but it was just the driver's side of the car. The car went to the dealer 5 times and the condition never improved, so I finally gave up and sold the car with 13k miles on it and lost a lot of money. I've had many new BMW and Mercedes cars and I don't recall this ever being an issue, I figured switching cars and no way this could happen twice. This car is brand new and the noise is probably the worst I've had with any car, new or used. I am beside myself. I don't even want to call the dealer after the prior experience. If it was one panel I would just take it apart and fix it myself but it's coming from so many places I can't even tell what's squeaking and what isn't. These cars are not inexpensive and I shouldn't have to deal with this stuff.

Is it the door seals? My E and GLE started creaking going over speed bumps and making turns. Sounded like it was inside the door. At first I greased the rubber parts of all the door seals, but didn't work. Then I figured out the felt part of the door seals needed to be greased, and instantly the sounds disappeared. I later finally finally figured out this happens after I use hybrid ceramic wax products on the cars.
