Thank u so much, I really needed this video... my top got stuck half way and wouldn't close back or open... I just parked it in my garage for 2 months... now that fall is coming I need to get it back up and closed!

[@HeyboysGarage]

I think I just replied to your other comment

[@anthonygiuliano6376]

I have same exact car and today I went to close my top and it wouldn’t close fully and it says top in function and can’t get it to completely go down how can I open my trunk while top in operation?! Or how can I close my trunk manually without getting inside the trunk ? Pls if you know I would appreciate advice

[@HeyboysGarage]

@@anthonygiuliano6376 you can’t open the trunk until the signal is gone. You have to keep trying with the button until it’s fully closed

[@lucib_]

@@anthonygiuliano6376damn. just had the same problem. let me know if you ever figure it out lol

[@safetystone9248]

If using the bottom doesn't close it ,what do u do ,please, i have the same problem right now .​@@HeyboysGarage

[@shark70007000]

My problem is that one back window is stuck. I pushed the rear piece down and forward before putting the window down in the slots. So the window doesn't go all the way down in the back. Now I can't get that back to open. Update: I did finally get the back to pop up by getting inside the trunk and pushing up on the sections that connect to the cylinders. The ones disconnected on bith sides, in the trunk. Yeah, I'm sure I looked funny with my feet in the air, out the back of the trunk, while pushing up to open that. LOL 😂

[@antoniohidalgo3583]

Thanks for the video i could close the roof following the video, but the roof doesnt move automatically, one of the back cilinders make noise and i have seen the hydraulic tank is empty, can be the problem that theres no hydraulic or a cylinder is broken?

[@franciswillie20]

I’m back in the game because of you, and $3000 richer‼️‼️‼️ Thanks a lot 👊🏾

[@HeyboysGarage]

I’m glad! Cheat code 😂

[@AlejandroHernandez-v4v]

I accidentely closed the back cover before lo locking it down. Now i cant get it to un unlock again. Any advice

[@HeyboysGarage]

Before locking the roof down on the inside?

[@llMian-y1e]

Hey Wsp bro I’m trying to build a car just like yours, how many inches is the spacers you put on the wheels, I will really appreciated if you lmk, thank you

[@HeyboysGarage]

12mm front , 15 or 20 on the rear

[@llMian-y1e]

@@HeyboysGarage do you know how many inches on the back exactly ?

[@HeyboysGarage]

@@llMian-y1e it’s easier if you measure from the fender to out to where you want the tire to poke

[@tominator344]

Sadly my back left window doesn’t work anymore along with a fluid leak in the top, and apparently you have to remove the rear seats to fix the window

[@HeyboysGarage]

Yeah that’s the downside! It’s a process I have had to do it before on the drivers rear

[@jrg7766]

I have the same problem

[@tominator344]

I still have the car , the engine is amazing, but haven’t fixed the problem yet 😂 I’ll keep you guys posted, once I fix the cosmetics I want it to sound just like yours heyboy, it’s too perfect!

[@nashpersonal5865]

Thank you man...all the way from Malaysia

Welcome!

[@leviawesome5431]

is that the same for the clk55 amg?

[@HeyboysGarage]

Yes. W209 same chassis

[@lorva628]

Thanks, that's definitely the guide I was looking for, unfortunately though I can't lift the trunk cover, so hard it feels like it's still locked, maybe pressure wasn't properly relieved?

[@HeyboysGarage]

At the two hinges where you put the belt when you open the trunk. There is a clip handle you need to push either up or down depending on if yours is up or down before the rest of the process. I completely forgot to put that part in the video since mine was already down

[@lorva628]

@@HeyboysGarage thanks for your reply, I didn't know actually about those clip handles, however after moving them still can't lift the trunk cover

[@InariArlexus]

I am running across the same exact issue.

[@anthonygiuliano6376]

Hey I’m having same issue case cover does not want to lift up no matter how hard I pull and I released the pressure ?!

[@chriscornette4508]

Thank you so much.

[@HeyboysGarage]

No problem!

[@terttarkabbalaysh98]

What about tge otyer car 🚗

[@HeyboysGarage]

Which car?

[@GodsImage1223]

With that radio/ screen what year 500 is this? Is it an after-market radio?

[@HeyboysGarage]

It’s a 2004. Stock head unit

[@GodsImage1223]

@@HeyboysGarage I'm in the 06! What should I do for a better radio? Stock head?

[@Mrwinecontreras]

Bro that’s a lot of work lol , anyway the problem I’m is backseat’s head I can’t put them down and as you know convertible top won’t go down unless thoses heads are down, and yes I know about sticking a stick on the side but man I’ve try so many times and I just can’t find that bottom, and I’m I don’t wanna go to MB dealership 😭

[@HeyboysGarage]

Yeah there is a button you have to find with the stick you are using. Get lights in there to fish for it until you find a button that pushes in, it take a push to actually push it

[@jackdark4975]

Thank u so much, I really needed this video... my top got stuck half way and wouldn't close back or open... I just parked it in my garage for 2 months... now that fall is coming I need to get it back up and closed!

[@HeyboysGarage]

2 months! Oh man well now you can get it closed!

[@stellitajohnson4381]

God bless you and yours I bought this was told it goes down ❤ i can maybe drive with my top down for my birthday 🎉in April Thank you

[@HeyboysGarage]

Heck yea!! That will be worth it 🤘🏾

[@HungNguyen-sb1yu]

Thank you for the video. My rear headrests popped up over a bump and the area in the back seat is so tight to push them down. I am thinking about opening the top manually and after I reset the rear headrests, can I close the top automatically? Thank you.

[@HeyboysGarage]

I know it’s a tight area but you can still push them down with the top up. I have done it a few times. But you should be able to manually put the top down and let the roll bar go back down… I don’t think since the roll bar is up should prevent you from manually opening the top

[@raregroove84]

Thank you so much for this - much appreicated

[@HeyboysGarage]

You're very welcome! 🤘🏾

[@dparham]

have you ever been stuck not being able to push the top case cover back in? mine is stuck and seems to not budge but I cannot see anything impinging on it.. it just seems the cover wont slide forward at hinge

[@HeyboysGarage]

I haven't, you might not be aligning something before closing it down. Check the latches on the top of the roof when closing

[@dparham]

@@HeyboysGarage yeah I checked... im not sure what could bind.. maybe the hinges or something

[@HeyboysGarage]

@@dparham Yeah i would check the latches on the roof, there should be a piece that looks like a long nipple that should be underneath the closing latch on the lid that closes everything. and push evenly when closing it down. easier with two people

[@kapisilakapisila407]

Vous êtes dans quel pays j’ai besoin d acheté ça combien le prix ?

How much for my car? Or how much to buy mine?

My convertible latch in the back doesn’t hook into the lock it’s off

Has the rear ever been hit? Not sure why yours it’s moving and locking into place
