first you need to open the roof and stop it in the position so the bow of the car is open along with the window part of the roof:

then remove all the carpet clips holding in the carpet:


clip:

over view:

once removed all the clip you can then take out the top part of the carpet:

after that roll back and remove the roller boot closure (this is only held in with one bolt either side of it)

as you need to get to the bolts behind it.

bolts behind boot cover:

cont...


once removed it will look like this:

now you need to remove all the gold headed bolt from around the black metal panel.

(NOTE: if you have a bosé audio system installed in your car you will have 4 extra gold headed bolt in this cover you do not need to remove: they are the ones located at the top in this image, and do not run along any of the metal cover edges)

once all bolts are removed slightly lift the metal cover and turn it toward the battery,
as show in the below picture:

now you can see all the parts needed eg: pump, roof controller etc...

my hydraulic level was low as you can see:

now remove the gold top bolt from the pump bottle:

top up with only MB hydraulic fluid!:

once topped up to the top bar on your pump motor indicator, replace the gold top bolt and do all the above steps in reverse.


hope this help regards Unit504
