Mine is the same issue. I have the GLE coupe and I rest my knee against the outside of that area. It clicks/pops/rattles like it's an American car. only thing that disappoints me about my car.

have not gone back to dealer yet. I have a couple of curb rashes on my rims I need to get fixed at the same time, just too lazy right now. I have a feeling that they'll tighten a few screws and tell me it's fixed.
