Soft Top Material Coming Loose

[ARTemis1969]

Good morning.

New on here and recently purchased at CLK240.
Have bought some refurbished alloys and new tyres and some additional trims bits to smarten it up even more.
Only a couple of hundred miles so far but it is a nice drive.

However, noticed the other day that the roof material on the inside around the back window has come loose and I wondered if this is something that can be fixed easily, or does it need to go to a specialist?

We've got one of these. the roof lining is coming away from both sides of the rear window. I tried to fix it by propping the roof partially open, loosening the aluminium trim and stuffing the lining back in. It needs you to have about eight hands, very long, strong arms and plenty of time as well as a good mood. I gave up because every time I got the material inside the trim and started to tighten it down, the material popped out of the bit I'd just done. I've given up now. If you get it done, let me know how it went.

Thanks for that.
Don't have the time or the weather to have a go at it just now, but I like a challenge so I will let you know how I get on.
