This is my first post. I have bought a 2003 CLK 320 recently.
The roof opens only with a helping hand at the start to get it past the first bend in the frame. When first opened at the the front catch it pops up about 10-15 cm and then the back bits sort themselves out. However, when the rear window section comes up it causes the front of the roof to drop forward again onto the windscreen frame. This has the effect of straightening the first bend in the roof and when the roof starts to fold backwards the first section needs to be pushed up to start it folding correctly.
I have found that if I just hold the front section up a small amount until after the main section is going backwards then it all works perfectly from that point.
I suspect that this could all sound like gobbledegook but anyone who has had the same issue will probably understand.
Closing all works perfectly.
This is hardly a serious problem but if there was an easy way to adjust it in some way to make it work as it should I would be really delighted. Any thoughts or advice?
