Ew sorry to hear this! That's my favorite GS, looks wise at least. The red ones looked KILLER.
LS430 sunroof creaks for a split second once every now and then if I turn into a parking lot or driveway a certain way but that's it.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it.
I have quit driving the Benz by like 3/4ths, if I'm going to just pile miles on a car by driving around the LS430 is the best pick. It's good on gas for a V8 and comfy as hell.
Trying to keep the miles down on the MB, but I do drive it enough to keep it nice and alive and well.

Yes, I might try that, the sunroof rattling is only apparent when the shade is open, and I don’t hear it at higher speeds, but I think it might be being drowned out by road noise.

It's not unusual, particularly as a vehicle ages, for interior pieces to make more rattles/squeaks as the temperature drops. Individual parts contract slightly in size, have more space between each other, and borders/seals loosen up. As it warms, those parts once again expand, press more firmly against each other, and tend to be noticeably quieter.

I can imagine, lol. It's so freaking awesome once you get there but by night 4 I want my peaceful house back. I always say that you can put me in the finest hotel or whatever, it still isn't gonna be as comfy to me as HOME.
Lol, tell that to my SL that participated in a 60-130MPH pull a few weeks ago.
The car isn't FAST FAST like you guys with insanely fast cars and tunes and race cars , etc. but it's definitely got those Mercedes high end top end legs...... It's way faster than I thought it would be, and I know my old Benzes.
The BMW I was racing got smaller and smaller in my rearview.

Here are the highlights from F1 race in Vegas if anyone is interested

They do, just way more expensive now. The 460 needed me to correct some minor stuff but it's been silent for the last 30k, the W12s are silent.
