Rattling passenger seat backrest
Does anyone have the issue of a rattling passenger seat backrest on not-so-smooth roads? I have this only when the seat is non-occupied. If there is someone sitting, then it is quiet as a mouse. My F10 had the same problem too, so I am starting to think that it is my luck...
Anyone with a similar issue? And if so, any remedies? It is a 2018 S560 by the way...

Well paint me stupid and call me Lucy, but my problem was simply the mount on my radar detector. The windshield must be slightly more/less canted and I simply re-mounted as in the old car. Drove me nuts finding it, but I did and MINE is not a backrest or other rattle. Back to being quiet as a church.

I discovered that once I put the rear right in chauffeur mode and back, the rattle disappears for some time (2-3 days for me, I am sure it is also a function of the roads I drive on). After that, rinse and repeat....

I had the same problem with my 2015 S550. Dealer replaced the passenger headrest under warranty. No more rattles. I suspect that it is caused by someone not using the seat adjustment buttons on the door to move the headrest up and down.
