New Rattle
Sadly, I'm now spoiled to a pleasurable quiet cabin so even the slightest rattle becomes amplified. About a month ago I began hearing a rattle, it's inconsistent, and only on rough highway pavement (sometimes).
Yesterday I finally discovered the source -- it's coming from the ceiling drop down mirror in the back seat. I may try enclosing a small sponge, but that would be an inconvenience (and a surprise) for a unsuspecting passengers when they open it.
Anyone else have this problem? A fix?

My 2017 S63 had a rattle like that but it was coming from the thin plastic housing around the driver's rear view mirror, the same area where all the cameras are housed. I finally stuffed thin strips of black rubber in the seam of the trim piece and it stopped it permanently. I would consider in your situation that very thin spongy strip molding that has the 3M peel and stick backing and apply it to see if it absorbs the jar of the road.
