Hi,
I am a first time owner of a Mercedes C220 Diesel Sport 2015. I have had the car since end of June and have 5k miles on the clock. After only a few weeks in I began to notice a slight creaking noise coming from the driver's door top edge. The noise was as if the glass of the window was rubbing against the rubber seal of the door. It was only noticeable on very rough or uneven road surfaces. Since a few weeks ago the noise has got more consistent and has also started on the passenger side front door and is much more prevalent. To add to this a crack appeared in the bottom right corner of the windscreen a few weeks ago too. This crack has now spread the half way across the bottom of the windscreen. There appears to be absolutely no evidence of a stone chip nor do I recall anything striking the screen whilst driving. I am the only driver of the vehicle.
Could the creaking noise be linked to the cracking windscreen? Why is there creaking of the windows/seals? Incidentally the noise disappears when you lower the window by a centimetre or so, i.e. when it is not touching the seal.
Is this normal, I would expect better quality and workmanship from Mercedes.
