Roll bars/Roof - deployed C Class 205 convertible/restore

[rangy]

FYI

If your roll bars deploy they are not just a one time deployment like seat bealts,there is no sqibs / actuators to replace

Its a simple matter of , strip them out,popping a screw driver into the slot to release the locking mechanism,use racket straps to pull them shut,youll hear a click,then reset them on the ecu

I was told by a Mercedes parts guy that the actuators that set them off are in the wind deflector, at a cost of around £200 + vat for a new wind deflector

then i was quaoted £800+ vat for new roll bars,he didnt mention to me that I could just shut them back up and reuse them?

Always do the research
