Why does my Mercedes CLK have a soft top warning light?
For any soft top version of the CLK, the soft top warning light is known to appear on the dashboard. This is caused by a faulty sensor on the near side windscreen mounted latch. This causes an electrical fault which can result in the boot not opening as the ECU thinks the hood is down when it is not.

You may be able to get the lock to release by squirting some WD40 or similar lubricant into the lock & keep working the key in & out to try to release it.
Why is the roof not working on my Mercedes SLK?

MY2003 and earlier cabriolets are W208s, MY2004-MY2009 is a W209. One certain way to determine the problem is to have the diagnostic codes pulled on the soft top control module.
