Hi all, it's been a few months that ive had a rattle coming from the boot. Sounds like the boot is not resting evenly so sometimes when I hit a pothole or drive on uneven road it rattles. I have read similar posts on here but nothing seems to help. It has gone back to MB under warranty 2 times. The first time they changed the rear parcel shelf, and the second time they tightened the screews which attach the boot to the car.

sorry for your roof issues

here is the thread with most if not all r171 roof fixes. Mechanism is all the same

Are you sure it's the roof and not one of the seats ratting against the rear bulkhead? I spend AGES chasing down what I thought was a boot/roof rattle and it turned out it was the passenger seat that was touching the rear bulkhead and making a noise.
