SLK roof won't open
I tried to open the roof on my 1998 SLK230 Kompressor last night, but it would not go through the cycle. The windows went down and the trunk section went up, but after that there was a whirring sound and nothing. The roof did not detach from the front. The trunk section goes down and windows go back up if I reverse the procedure.
I read some of the old posts and am wondering if a problem I had several months ago could be affecting the roof. I had an alternator relay switch go bad and the battery was without power until we got the switch replaced. Would this affect the relay switches for the roof? If so, is it very expensive to replace the relay switches that govern the roof retraction? Help, it is starting to get sunny and hot here in Missouri.

I am not that familiar with the SLK, but my SL requires a synchronization procedure before the top will go down. Check your owners manual and then give the dealer a call. The battery being disconnected will reset it, but then you have to re-sync it so the computer knows where everything is, or a place to start. Good luck!

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.

I took my 230K to the dealer about a year ago with a roof problem he said that the rubber seals were interferring with the switches and they had to cut them back slightly to allow the switches to work.
