Hi All
I have a 61 plate W212 and was hoping someone could check something for me, I took my car into the dealer as I had a intermittent rattle on rough road surfaces, they took a lot of the trim apart and advised it was one of my middle air vents.
I have 2 issues:
1) I'm not sure their diagnosis is accurate as before the car went in, the vent was fine, now the controls to move the vent for one side do not work, there excuse was they've put it back as best they could, looks like they broke it and are now blaming that for the noise.
Its being replaced under warranty so I have not kicked off about this but am not happy with about it, vent was fine before they took everything apart.
2) My silver trim is not flush against the top of the dashboard however I cant recall if it should be, see image below:
As you can see towards the middle of the dash the silver trim and top of dash is flush, as it goes towards the left of the car the silver trim goes under the dash, is your car also like this?
Also while car is with them, are there any common areas where the car rattles or squeaks from I can focus them on? to me it sounded like it was coming from the area where the power button is to turn on the car audio system, its hard to reproduce as sometimes it does it and sometimes it does not.
Advice appreciated
