Hi, I have a 1999 slk230. Does anyone know what part of the system tells the roof its ok to retract once the boot has opened. The boot opens fine, the front roof latches disengage fine quarterlite windows go down and that is where it all stops, Hydraulic pump seems to be fine with no leaks from...

Hey guys, I wonder if you can help me. The lock assembly for the front where the roof meets the screen, has a locating pin which operates a switch on the screen. The pin on the right hand side has snapped. It seems to me that part of the pin is plastic and part metal. When I approached Mercedes...

Hi All, First post on forum to its probably been dealt with in the past. What do members use to lubricant a Vario roof fitted on an SL500 2004. Also any tips on maintenance of the roof. Cheers

2005 Vario O 814 wiper relay location Any ideas folks ?

2009 R171 Slk 280. I have noticed that one of the black triangular glass panels of my Vario roof is partially discoloured/faded. It's almost as if it has lost some of the paint covering (if indeed it had any) Has anyone else had this problem, and can it be restored ?

Hi - long story so I'll keep it short. Neither the power lift nor the vario roof working. Narrowed down (I think) to a break between the boot latch & all else so it doesn't talk to anything, hence the two symptoms. I've had a break already in this harness but that was for boot closing...

Hi All, Anyone got any experience of these lips/splitters. I'm not one to spend a fortune on a carbon one as its bound to get damaged but these look quite good for the price and might 'finish' the front off to give it a slightly more aggressive look. Any thoughts? Thanks Rob

Hi guys, I am new to this website and was hoping someone could help me with a roof issue. My roof wont fully close on the right side (pics attached). This is the same when the car is in the down and covered position. Not sure what is going on. Perhaps it is a sensor that doesnt activate...

Hello and good afternoon, I've done a search on the Vario Roof but not been able to find the answer to my question. I know that it's stated in the handbook that one shouldn't put the vario roof down when it (the roof) is wet. On the other hand, I wouldn't want to wipe the roof dry because it...

Has anyone actually replaced one of these on an R230?? I've just done mine on my 2003 SL & although the pump works, the roof still won't lower. After checking with the diagnostics, there are no other faults! Am I missing something, it doesn't seem to need any bleeding & feels like it's not...

Hi guys, just bought a 2003 SL 55 AMG & need a the above hydraulic pump; any advice where is the best place to buy a reliable used or new one?? Thanks.

Hi, I am new to this so if i have posted in wrong section sorry. I have a SLK 350 and left at airport for 2 weeks, upon returning to the car a notice saying Vario Roof Malfunction has appeared on the dash, The roof does not function at all, also heated rear window light alluminates but...

Any idea where you do it? Or how please?

Hi Guys, I have a 98 slk230, up until today I was able to lower and raise the vario roof no problem, then today I tried it and only the boot would open and fold back but the roof itself stayed where it was, upon inspection inside the working parts / cables etc, I found a metal cable...

Does anyone know how easy it is to fit a second alternator to a Vario (4.2L)? Thanks Ian

Folks, I've just bought a Vario 4x4 for conversion to a camper and I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to a forum which covers these Mercedes vehicles (just the chassis - not the camper conversion). Many Thanks Ian

Hi everybody, Has anybody else every had a vario roof module failure? My wife's 2006 280 roof stopped working and the vario roof visit workshop light is on the clocks. A star pc says there is no comms to the vrm and all fuses are ok. Everything else works on the car except the heated rear...

Does anyone know if the Vario roof on an SL (R/W230 shape) has the same functionality of an SLK? Reason being is I have a small cog that has broken away where the Barden cables meet in the tailgate of my SL and Merc want £453 for a complete kit (only want the cog which is 1" diameter, the rest...
