hi
when i try and lower the roof on my CLK w208 with the engine running and in park the hood stops half way... the rear bit lifts and the roof folds about about half way and then the red roof switch flashes and the roof sticks. only way to make it carry on is to switch off the ignition, switch it back on without starting the car and continue pressing the switch.
if i do it with the car not running (ie just with the ignition set at pos 2) then it seems to work but slows down (supposedly the battery power causes the slowdown as the engine isnt running).
i am sure it retracted fine with engine running in the past.... any ideas?
it folds back UP fine with engine running and off, its just folding the roof down where it does this.
its a 1999 pre-facelift CLK.
thanks
