I have a 2016 E350d with a very loud knock / creak from behind the near side rear seat , seems to come from the rear deck panel. If I press the surface of this panel where the roof corner is if you like you can hear a similar noise as the skin touches the frame of the rear deck panel.
Having searched the net I can find videos from two cars with others commenting on having the same noise.

This must be a known issue with MB, trying to find out if anyone's knows of the issue and what the fix is. To me looks as though the rear deck panel has to be changed as its seems like the outer skin touching the deck frame. Pressing the same area of rear deck roof corner on driver side does not give any noise.

Driving me nuts and dealer struggling to rectify

If you liked the car then why not buy another one? At least this time you will know what to look out for.....

I think they are great cars. Mines a 2014, got no noises or creaks.
You were just unlucky.
