Driving this SL gives me mixed feelings, it feels nice to be driving a good looking stable car but this clicking noise from the roof is very annoying and fairly loud, is this a convertable thing?

Please go to edit and remove address paper sent.

Being a tight Northerner is this something that will be covered by the MB warrenty?

Another one for you, I've had cars before with hydraulic suspension they seemed very smooth, when I pull up say at the traffic lights the front of the car jerks up not in a smooth way but in a couple of stages.
