Hello All, the car is an early 1993 (January 1993) SL300. The soft top mechanism seems to have got out of synch. and would not release the hard top. We removed the top manually and reset the fault codes (jumpered pin 1 to 10, etc). The code was 17 (door switch I think) but I suspect that this was not the actual fault as the door windows all work in the correct sequence). The soft top now goes up and down, but will not lock up, that is the red light will not go out. It does lock down and all lights go out. If I cycle the switch forward a couple of times it will go out but comes on after a few minutes. The mechanism has rarely been used and is in 'as new' condition so I'm reluctant to tear into it without some advice.....

Thanks in advance for your help on this.
