Why is the roof not working on my SLK?
Hello, have a look at this website, here is the link – SLK Home Page. It has a section on the roof mechanism, hope this helps, regards Damian. If the boot (trunk) lid’s not closed, the interior light will remain on. And I’m pretty sure that if the boot lid’s not closed, the top won’t operate either.
Why is the courtesy light not working on my slk200?
When you shut the boot you should now find that the courtesy light goes out and that the roof will now operate. It forms part of the vario roof control system in that it signals that the boot is shut since the vario roof can only operate when the boot is shut.
Can a flat blade prise out a slk200 roof?
Yes, prise out the centre part of the three fasteners with a flat blade (these come out quite easily, they are just locking the main fixings which remain). The main fixings can then also be prised out but these are barbed so require a little more effort.
When did the SLK convertible top stop working?
I have a 1999 SLK 230 with a non-working convertible top. It worked fine for a few years (I’ve had it since Jan 2000), then it got to the point where when car sat in sun all day, the hardtop wouldn’t open until it cooled off.
What should I do if my SLK roof wont open?
Tightening stuff won’t take them long and won’t cost you much. Basically the roof doesnt even sound like there is any current flowing through it. The light flashes when am driving the car and a beeping sound. When i press the button, notghing happens absoultely nothing. Click to expand…

Where is the microswitch on a Mercedes SLK?
The other thing to try is the microswitch on the right hand side of the boot. When you pull the screen over you will notice that where it clips into the rear of the boot, on the right hand side, it contacts a black lever. This in turn actuates a microswitch.
There is a black “pull-out” tray in the boot. It has a handle on it, and is on runners. You need to pull this towards the boot lid, as the roof sits on this when it goes down. It the tray is not in place then the roof won’t operate.
Can a power window regulator get out of the door?
Principles will apply to most power windows 1970 to 1995 but not all. When the motor won’t move the window down you can not get to the bolts that hold the regulator to the glass. So then how can you get it out of the door!
What causes a power window regulator to snap?
Groaning, snaping and jammed door check straps are a common problem on the older models (up through 1995). This is primarily due to age and lack of lubrication. Newer models will soon start having similar problems.

Why is the roof not opening on my Mercedes?
Roof won’t open/close correctly on Mercedes-Benz SLK230. Problem Description. Position switches for the vario roof can fail, causing the roof to stop in the process of opening or closing.
There is a black “pull-out” tray in the boot. It has a handle on it, and is on runners. You need to pull this towards the boot lid, as the roof sits on this when it goes down. It the tray is not in place then the roof won’t operate.

What to do if your Mercedes Benz roof wont open?
Might not be something you wanna attempt on your own. But if you can pinpoint where the problem is, get a cheap shop to do just that part of the job. Tightening stuff won’t take them long and won’t cost you much. Basically the roof doesnt even sound like there is any current flowing through it.
