i've had the same problem with my mercedes for 2 years now, only during cold months. i've tried just about everything to eradicate this rattle but i think i have it narrowed down. my best guess is that when it's cold, the sealant for the windshield contracts, causing it to rattle where it meets the dash. i'm not 100% about this but it seems like the only option in my case. as far as my sc goes, no rattle there yet, but i probably would'nt hear it over the rattle coming from my sunroof.

ok, 3 week lexus owner. i tried searching for an answer for this first. my stereo and climate control screens light up nicely at night. however, the control buttons just underneath each of these screens do not. like the fan speed button, the cd track selector button, etc. is this how it was designed? or do i have a bulb/fuse issue? i bought this car from a friend who's owned it since new. 99,000 miles. garage kept. $5500 dollars, inspected. almost perfect inside and out. all i did was replace rear struts and mounts. (i'm not gloating about the deal i got--- i'm just psyched!) thanks people---this forum is priceless.

cool--i never would have thought of that. i'll check it out tomorrow. thanks.

hello, i've owned a 1995 sc300 for about a week now. the car runs great, but i am dealing with a rattling noise coming from the passenger side rear wheel well. i remember seeing something online before i bought the car stating that the sc models had a common problem with the strut mounting bolts coming loose. has anyone heard of this or am i imagining things? the car has 99,000 miles on it and i'll probably replace the struts anyway. any other common problems that i should be prepared for?? thanks in advance.
