My other half's SL350 is in with DDR in Surrey to have the roof issues repaired.
The electric boot lid had some intermittent issues at the end of last year whereby the it would unlock but not lift. If you gently lifted the boot it would open and the soft close worked fine every single time and sometimes the boot would lift on it's own, other times it wouldn't.
Well in the last month, the boot has stopped lifting at all and in turn the roof no longer goes down.
So booked in with DDR and they're looking into it. First issue they've encountered is that the control module for the roof can't be read by Star so needs the be replaced. £560 including labour and that's before they fix the issue with the roof.
Let's hope (and pray and cross fingers etc etc.) it's something simple with the roof!!
The only comfort I gave to my other half is that even if it cost £1k to repair, the car is essentially still worth what she paid for it. Unlike her previous car which lost about £3k in the first year of her owning it.
