SLK 200 R170 Roof Issue

Hi

I have a similar issue, but the boot does activate and the pump is working. If anyone has an insight into this and why the rest of the roof is not activating, it would be most welcome.

Thank you

2001 SLK 200 Krompressor SLK 170 Roof Issue resolved

Dear All,

I wanted to share the phenomenon of my SLK R170 roof, which was stuck in the closed locked position since I bought it 6/8 weeks ago. actually freeing itself. I was just about to book the car into a specialist to go through the fault process, having recently bought two roof locking mechanisms (Front left & right - now FOR SALE £25) waiting in the boot to be used, just in case the fault related to the front catches and hey presto; I am driving with a bit thrust at speed along an M Way and the roof started to leak air at the front. A bizarre noise like a sunroof is just a jar. Anyway, some hours later I tried the roof switch and to my amazement, it opened and closed beautifully. Wow. I couldn't believe it. Have since greased the entire rubber section and the locks. BTW. All those posts and theories were extremely helpful in keeping keeping clear of main dealer pricing. I also have a cloth interior for sale. eBay item number:262002157584 and a set of Alloys/Tyres eBay item number:262002149530. Regards Westrock200
