Totally I get that same issue even crawling over uneven lane way or other bumps where the angle of the body of the car is say 30 or more degrees I get this weird pop noise sound horrible! Is there a fix? Mine has full war entry still. ?

Did you read this thread?

Brought mine into the dealership exactly 3 weeks ago now. Had them remove entire headliner and re-torque all perimeter bolts on both sides. Since then, car has had zero issues with no signs of creaking/popping sounds of any kind.

Hope this helps

I had the same issue with my 12' E63. Took it to the dealer and they fixed (warranty) Its a common problem.

My 2010 e63 had same problem the dealer said after some years the pano bolts come loose so it needs to retighten.very expensive job$1600 was quote because they said interior roof liner needs to come out an roof removed to be done properly!

I have a 2012 E350 Coupe, my car is in the shop as we speak. They are indeed removing the roof liner and tightening the bolts. It started off with pops when chassis flex in any way and then it became creaks and then started getting louder and louder. I also noticed it was dependent on temperature (The glass material has a different expansion rate than the metal frame it sits in). They are fixing it right now. Keep y'all posted on the final outcome/costs. Hopefully no cost as I brought it in during warranty for this and it was not resolved.

My 2015 E63 S had the creaking from the pano roof. Dealer dropped the roof liner, tightened all the bolts and all is good.

We have a 2015 E63 w/ pana roof and I noted that when coming to the driveway at an angle (we have a steep driveway), I can sometimes hear this popping noise. But if I backed up and did the same thing it would not make the same noise. My wife noted this more since she drives the car more.

My dealer at Escondido MB, was willing to try to reproduce the issue. It took the technician three tries and he heard it loud and clear coming into their own hilly dealer after leaving the car under the sun for sometime (it's pretty hot here now). Long story short, the whole roof lining and the sunroof was removed and found two broken tabs on the roof rack assembly. The technician surmises that the assembly was not well aligned at the factory and chassis flexing over my driveway broke the tabs. Since he realigned the roof, I have nothing. No more oiling and BS stories.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, all. Have an appt on Friday with dealer to take care of this item.

I had the same issue on mine and they kept on saying they can't replicate it. grr, even after i drove around and found a driveway with the tech that replicate it.

Fast forward a few months and i game up with an idea to replicate. I asked them to place it on the left and only left up one wheel. Immediately you heard the land popping sound in the glass at back. They spent about 2 weeks fixing it and it has not done it since. Don't let them tell you they can't find it, its a known issue and my guess is very costly/timely to fix. Now if only they can fix my "remote entry" so the car unlocks when i walk up to it. instead of blaming it on my radar detector. grrr

2014 E63 S here and I have been getting these creaks since day 1. Happens when I put one of the front wheels onto a driveway and it loads up that wheels suspension then I get a loud bang from the roof as others have described. Makes me worried that one day the pano glass will shatter.

I have not yet read about shattering but this should be addressed by the dealer

I been contemplating having the dealer look at it. Not really too thrilled about their mechanics taking apart my roof and putting it back if this a trait of the W212.

Will report back if I have the dealer take a look at it.

Got the car back today. Dealer removed headliner and fixed issues. All is right in the world again...and certainly less noisy. Definitely waited too long to have this corrected.

Mine had this from day one...it was fixed immediately by the dealer who had prior experience with other cars that had the same issue and it has not happened again.

Good point. I would be ok with a little creak as long as there is no leaks.

Just out of curiosity, how long does this fix take? Can I wait while it's done or should I plan on being without the car for a couple days?

kponti

So far most dealers have been able to take it apart, re-grease and put back together with good results

kponti

Yes at least a full day's worth (meaning it will take a couple of days at the dealership)

LFC09

been through that fix; roof no longer pops, but just groans now. This time the dealers are arranging for a body shop to fix it.........

sjp3003

It took one day...in early, out in the afternoon. No problems since then.

Looks like the dealer is going to have my car up to a week to fix the sunroof flex. Predictably they broke something dropping the headliner and have to fix that now as well. Idiots... I dropped the headliner on my old Tahoe and I had zero experience with the vehicle, yet it took me a couple hours (working from the service manuals) and I broke absolutely nothing. Why the f didn't they issue a formal recall for this? It seems to happen to EVERY W212 owner.

If you come straight forward into my driveway the front would touch. I have to angel in and out every time in/out and never had an issue.
BTW I am on NYC roads every drive is a speed bump.
I am lucky to not have any issues as yet i guess.

My car does it too. Glad you all posted your experiences and findings. I thought it was just not a very rigid car and flexed a lot so I didn't think there was much use bringing up the issue to the dealer.

I will be scheduling an appointment to get it repaired......I am glad there is a fix because it irritates the hell out of me and I am sure my clients are thinking the car is a piece of crap when it happens. lol
