Does the plastic piece under the flaps have to be removed to complete the process?

I'm going to assume that with over 19,000 views there's a lot of people experiencing issues with these tops...I'm definitely running into issues also. Mercedes needs to.do better!

Always good to know how to manually operate the roof, in case of that unexpected emergency. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience.

Thank you. At least before I attempt to repair the top, I can use it with the top down.

Fantastic help. Others said it was a really complicated process. I would add that the joint at the back of the roof needs to be pulled down for the latch mechanism at the front of the roof inside to be turned. I was struggling but after pulling the roof down, or pushing down just above the rear window the mechanism turned easily. The allen wrench is a 5mm and if you are lucky enough to have the original tool bag that came with the car, it's in there. Thank you so much.

I am unable to lift the deck lid carrier after releasing the locking bolts. There seems to be something holding it as it lifts a bit but won't swing up like in the video. My car is a 2007 sl 550

My roof doesn’t “fall into place.” It gets stuck about 10 inches above its resting place inside the trunk. What am I doing wrong?
@protonspring524410 ай бұрын
Make sure you released the pressure in the pump. Other than that, it must be hitting something. Make sure to press the front of the roof down first. Does that work?

Mine gets a 2 inch gap on the right side when the trunk closes or opens. The vario roof works as it should, but on the final step it leaves a 2 inch gap only on the right side. I looked inside to see if something dropped in and makes it stuck that way from closing all the way but haven’t found anything. This causes the trunk to not open going up or close at all the normal way ( as if you’re getting a bag or groceries out of your trunk) , and the windows leave a half inch open gap as well, which would be bad during rain. I can hear the highway noise through the window crack. That 2 inch gap is at the sharp corner of the trunk near the passenger door. It’s almost as if you could push it down if you forced it , but so far unsuccessful
