My friend had a 200 SLK with 14,000 miles and the top on his car gave him problems too. The dealer said they took care of it the first, but it kept on happening. He bought a new battery and after going to the dealer a 2nd time they said it was ok. It happened a 3rd time and they said that they replaced some part. It failed again and so he sold the car. I'm not sure what part they replaced, but I do know that it rained on him the last time it wouldn't work and that's why he sold it.
