I Fixed The Broken Convertible Roof On My $100,000 Mercedes Benz

[@23RD]

This was my dream car at one point, back when I first started working my boss bought one, pops and I had to pull the rear end and line up the frame, getting that top to work right was a nightmare. After that i no longer dreamed of them 😂

[@23RD]

Good job on the repair sir 🫡

[@Haydenschreiermk2]

I CANT IMAGINE trying to line line up the rear end on this car… WAY too many moving parts/ hydraulics/vacuum lines. Sure sounds like a nightmare

[@23RD]

@@Haydenschreiermk2 sure is a nightmare, one tiny little bump or something as it’s closing and it just resets 😂

Starting to blend into the Floridian crowd now with the convertible benz 🤣🤣🔥🔥

Muahahah

[@fedup3449]

I had exactly the same problem about 10 yrs. ago. I simply cut a small metal plate about 1.5mm thick and put it underneath the teeth block, which basically raised the teeth up to fit more snugly in the gear cog. It worked perfectly and still does. That cost me approx. zero.

haha thats epic!

Now back to the Golf R please

[@Haydenschreiermk2]

Haha these stupid parts are backordered!

[@Wennoworks]

What watch is that it looks lit

[@Haydenschreiermk2]

haha its an apple watch with a gold band and cover on it

[@MC-qc9gp]

Don't you think you should be concentrating on the Golf R? What's happening with It, given up because the rear end is bent?

[@Haydenschreiermk2]

Im waiting on the last of the parts to come in.. its on backorder

[@23RD]

The Golf R rear end is about to be looking factory 😉

[@MC-qc9gp]

@@23RD After it's been pulled and aligned on a chassis jig. No parts required to show how that rear deck will be flattened

Mine says partition isnt closed but it is an the top wont open ? Any ideas

[@Haydenschreiermk2]

yes more than likely the "soft close" feature on your car is broken and the trunk doesnt think it is closed when it is. people slam it to close it and then it works, which typically breaks the parts that you saw me replace. otherwise theres a possibility that the partition needs to be opened and closed and made sure its fully seated, you can also check if it is getting a signal

[@robg7476]

What's the part number

[@robg7476]

@HaydenSchreier Thanks Hayden! both of mine are hanging real loose so hopefully that's the problem. I just finished putting coilovers on it to get rid of that ABC system

[@Haydenschreiermk2]

if you have the orginal factory ones then yes its most likely the problem as i believe they were made of plastic and these are now metal. check and see what you have on. if they are metal than you might just need to reset the teeth in it and tighten it

[@robg7476]
