W208 Convertible roof problem

[paulofkent]

Can anyone help with my roof?

When i open the lock and push the front of the roof up my windows go down as they are suppose to then still holding roof button the back headrests go up but nothing else moves.
I have checked the fuses at the front and back all looks ok.
Has anyone got any ideas as this is getting frustrating?

Assuming you've previously opened the roof ok(in case the car is new to you did you know you have to manually push the roof up 6-8" before pressing the electric roof open/close switch?)can you hear the motor engaging in the boot?

Hi, thanx yes the roof is pushed up 5"-8" but instead of the back lifting all i get is the rear headrest raising but there is a clicking noise in the boot area, i take it that it is a relay.

The back headrests are not meant to move when you raise or lower the roof from what I remember from W208 convertible ownership days. That does not sound right....
