I have been having the exact same problem with my 1989 420SEL. After doing the same thing you did, removing panels, putting silicone, etc, the noise was still there....And annoying me even more. I tried everything!!! Well, one day, I was replacing my door threshold plates, and I had to run out while they were off........AND THE NOISE WAS GONE!!!!! For the heck of it, I re-installed them, drove around the block, and the noise was back. I noticed that at the bottom of the door, the door panel sometimes rubs against them. The noise was particurarly noticible when braking or accelerating. So, after doing a very good alignment of the threshold plates, the noise is now gone, and I can now drive in complete silence!
