Where will i find supposedly in my SL and what does it look like - the tool to open or close the soft top should the electrics decide not to work?
Just going through a health check for the car and not sure i have seen this tool - SL is a 1998

Many thanks

I'd hazard a guess within the tool kit / tool roll by the spare wheel

Success - found the original tool kit and soft top wrench hidden deep within the boot space under the spare.
Nice to have the original stuff now stored within easy reach
