My roof doesn't unlock front or rear latches but I can see and hear tonneau cover slightly moving when I press the button after I take the roof down manually. With that being said, I can't find my roof tool. Can I use any other tools to unlatch and lock the roof?

Just spoken with MSL in Birmingham and they can hook car onto STAR for me. Will pop it down at some point soon and let you know

The up and down process doesn't work at all which is another issue I have lol. Trying to find a good roof expert in West mids

Hi all. Getting frustrated with my SL roof. It won't work. It just whirrs and does nothing. So, I'm in Stafford and wondering if anyone has recommendations for some roof specialists around West mids/Staffordshire?

Hi folks. So the roof has an issue on my 500SL (1992). I can hear something but nothing happens so I have to manually take it up and down. Roll bar works but when it's down light on dash is orange and the control switch flashes red regardless of its position When it's down and the car is moving...

Are they even doing test drives now? Me and the MD of local mercedes aren't pals so will have to go to colindale MB when I'm at the inlaws this weekend.

Hey peoples. So wifes 2018 V90 is going this year and I need a replacement. Found the GLB 200 for decent money (personal lease) but im concerned at the small engine vs big car. I'm sure it's fine for around town but I'm concerned with overtaking and picking up speed (80mph) on motorway. Does...

Hi all Ok so the roof on the SL will not work. The red roof switch just flashes and beeps. you can hear the whirring noises when you push it to close and it will pull down to tighten for the final part of the cycle. The roll bar works fine but when it is down the button flashes and either up...

So ive just replaced all fuses except fuse 7 in the boot. Connected battery and car started without issue butttttt rollbar light on switch flashing along with roof switch. On the dash the roll bar light is illuminated. Roll bar works fine though and when in up position the switch stops flashing...

Hey all So 40A ceramic fuses arrived and the rest arrive on Monday. So ive got 10a, 15a and 25a copper fuses but it says the fuses are 8 and 16 amp on the fuse guide and also some 20amp fuses. Is that correct

40 amp are orange but that is for the same as what is in there so aluminium. All the new ceramic ones are black

Thank you Just ordered them.

hi all So my roof has decided not to work on the SL. Probably because I'd jump started it as it had no power for the Ctek to detect it. I thought I'd check fuses, and we'll they are knackered or on their way. May even be originals from 92 lol. Ordered some copper torpedo fuses from Australia...

Lol sorry yes that's a slight contradiction So far since I've purchased it, ive only ever replaced a radiator which was over £500 inc fitting, an alternator and 2 batterys. Also had new front wing as was rusting around wheel arch on drivers side and just re-spray to rear bumpers. I'm worried...

Hi No I havent. Is that at a mercedes specialist?

Thank you for the reply. Yes it's a 92 model. I was hoping for a simple thing which I could do before taking it to MB specialist because I worry of cost lol. It's worth it as it's only car I've ever had that appreciates in value and ive never spared any expenses on it so far.

Nobody knows then?
