Your Mercedes
2012 E250 Cabriolet
Sorry, posted this in wrong thread so here goes again:

Just got my car back after having a massive job done on the brake pipes on my 2012 E250 Cabriolet, and I noticed when I got home that the small trim/flap panels at the sides of the rear seats (part of the folding roof mechanism area) were sitting completely open/mis-positioned with the roof closed.

The luggage separator/partition was still in the raised position exactly as it was when I left the car, which makes me wonder whether someone may have operated the roof while the partition was up. The car apparently had an unofficial trip to Mercedes during the repair to help bleed the brake system properly, so I suspect it may have happened there. Would you even need to operate the roof during a brake repair?

Interestingly, when I put the roof down, the panels move into the correct position and seem to engage normally. It’s only when the roof is back up that they appear folded underneath/out of place.

Unfortunately my Xentry laptop has decided not to boot up, so I can’t check for roof module faults or try any synchronisation routines at the moment.

Has anyone come across this before on the A207/E-Class cabriolet roofs? Is there a known reset/relearn procedure, or does this sound more like a trim/linkage issue? The roof is still operating, but I’ve got a long journey coming up and don’t want to risk damaging anything by continuing to use it.
