All,
I've read and searched for some threads relating to an issue I have with my w208 convertible roof not working.
I will come onto the full story, but i wanted to know if anyone knows what the part in the below link does for the operation of the roof.
I tried refitting the part in the link but it falls off, it seems a bit bent compared to the other side.
Before I buy a replacement I want to make sure I know what it does as if there is something else to fix to save trashing another then, Id rather fix it.
COVER | Genuine Mercedes-Benz | 208-695-00-30
I went to put the roof down, the rear boot flap went up, the roof started to retract, got about half way and then it stopped. I could not put it forward or back at that stage, so I drove it home and put it in the garage.
I eventually got the roof back up, as I couldn't get into the boot to get the wrench to manual lock the roof down or up, I folded and unfolded the roof manually a few times, got in the car and tried to put the roof up. It operated fine for closing but I have not yet dared to open the roof.
I'm going to get the car hooked up to a machine to see if any of the sensors or switches raised any fault codes. Once I have them I will post them here.
The rear headrests operate all OK so I dont think this is an hydraulic issue.
Any help or advice or pointers to anything I can read and investigate myself would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Jon
