Graham,
It looks great doesn't it?! About the roof -
Part of press release (courtesy DaimlerChrysler) reads -
Soft top: opened and closed by remote control
The soft top available in black, blue or grey is a new development. It opens fully automatically (also by remote control), disappears completely beneath an attractive cover in the rear within a few seconds and immediately provides the purest form of open-air driving enjoyment in conjunction with fully lowered side windows. Neither is any manual operation necessary when closing the soft top, as the hydraulic unit does everything necessary and automatically locks the roof in place on the upper windscreen frame.
The multi-layered lining of the soft top provides outstanding thermal insulation and keeps the interior noise level extremely low. The slim C-pillars and large side and rear windows offer excellent visibility to the rear even when the soft top is closed. The new CLK-Class Cabriolet is the best in its class where interior noise, thermal insulation and all-round visibility are concerned.
The boot capacity of 390 litres (acc. to VDA measuring method) is a 40-litre increase over the preceding series – another peak value among four-seater convertibles. Like the soft top, the boot lid can also be opened by remote control.
