Welcome to the forum.

Had the car still been under warranty, the main dealer would have investigated and made a fix for no cost to you.

Unfortunately, creaks and squeaks are more prevalent in older cars and you have the choice of trying to pin down the problem yourself, or asking a Mercedes specialist (indy) to take a look. Main dealers are roughly twice the hourly labour rate and I'd avoid using them if possible.

Silicone spray can be useful at eliminating squeaks

I wonder if its had the dash out in the past to fix the flap motor on the blower system ?

I wondered about this too but l noticed the op said facelift model and my understanding is that particular problem should not arise. Not guaranteed though l guess.

Hi
Have you tried eliminating anything?
Despite noises appearing to emanate in a particular area it might be in adjacent part of the interior and possibly you can pin down more specifically.
If it were mine I would try
Driving with all windows down, with hood both up and down, empty glove box, drive with the glove box open, stuff some rags between the sides of the seats and the centre console specifically around seat belt stubs and orthopedic seat controls if fitted, also the panels on the bottom of the dash see if they are loose maybe remove them (generally only held in with 2 - 4 screws/clips) and see if theres anything that is obviously loose above them, see if any of these things effect the squeaking.
Additionally tap the dash and surrounding area to see if you can re-create the rattle and enable you to home in on the area thats causing the issue

YES IT IS COMING FROM THE INTERIOR AROUND WHERE THE DASH MEETS THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. I TRIED SPRAYING THE AREA WITH CLEAR LUBRICANT BUT SEEMS JUST AS BAD.. ANY ONE KNOW IF THE DASH BOLTS ARE ACCESIBLE THROUGH THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT OR BY REMOVING THE BINNICLE TO MAYBE TIGHTEN THEM?

carlo. Dont think is is a new problem that you have . Mercedes have sold so many cars like yours , and had buyers return with this, or that, problem .So a talk to them will most likely pin point the noise you have .
