Rattling roof on SLK
Went to take delivery of a SLK 55, and when I went for the test drive the rear shelf rattled, the front of the hood where it meets the body of the car rattled, and there was a rattle coming from the center stack. The car also had 42 miles on it, but it was supposedly just off the truck. The mileage issue aside, are these rattles a known problem with an easy fix, or is this car bad news?

I test drove both the 350 and 55. I was not impressed by the build quality of either; there were rattles from the roof, rear shelf and hood so decided not to place an order.
