Unhappy Dashboard creaks and rattles.

We just took delivery of my wife's GLS450. How do you guys deal with the dashboard squeaks and creaks? It is very noticeable when turning the wheels in either direction or going over speed bumps.

Check your tire pressure. Most MB tires are overinflated from the factory. Set the tire pressure according to the Gas filler door not the door jamb spec. This mat help solve the issue.

Thank you, I'll give this a try. I do have an appointment with the service dept to have them look at it. It's pretty embarrassing that a $90k car rattles like this.

That's just not normal I'd be back at the door, having the sale associate/manager getting it looked at now. I'd consider negating the purchase if you are within your state's allowance for such.

We were finally able to take the car home today. This rattling/clunking sound was due to THE SUPPORT BEAMS FROM THE STRUT TOWERS TO THE FIREWALL BEING LOOSE FROM THE FACTORY.
