Hai sir please reply soft top front lock not open what problem sir

[@joe5087]

Hi was wondering if you can help me. I have to disconnect and reconnect my battery to get the top working. Once I get it to work properly it will keep working great. The problem of that once I drive it somewhere it won’t close. It thinks it’s closed because the pump will only try if I pull back the tab. I then have to disconnect and reconnect the battery until the soft top starts working again. Again. It will work perfectly once I do this. But once I drive it somewhere I’ll have to reset it again. Thanks. Idk where to figure this out.

Never heard of that one? Maybe there’s stored codes? I would ask BenzWorld R129 forum, lots of of helpful folks there, register, always put your year and model in post, good luck.

One of my locks sounds like a gunshot going off. The other one is fairly quiet. I wonder if it’s the alignment?

[@mygermancars7264]

Its a crazy loud system lol, check the alignment marks if its the front lock.

[@njoeandjen]

ever figure it out ??? mine does same thing!

[@mygermancars7264]

Its been behaving pretty good since I adjusted it, there are times where front needs help but usually when car is at an weird angle.

[@njoeandjen]

Aligned all points still same if I let go of switch for a second will drop in headrail and latch perfect, my 96 works perfect 91 and 92 both do this.
