This was a lifesaver Video! Thanks So much! Would add the following- I drove the vehicle without the side rear vent windows up, no problem. And after securing the top lock latches the entire roof settled during the first drive. I would suggest the first step in the procedure should be to pull the Fuse. After manually locking the Roof Latch Lock if someone moves the center console switch it can unlock the roof latch. Pull the fuse. And the Torx Wrench for both the Pump Bleed Screw and the Front Roof Lock is 6mm. There was Fluid in Right Rear Fender Well and a puddle underneath. Pretty easy to diagnose.
I would like to know why it's necessary to disconnect the hydraulic cylinders from the tubular frame. I would also like to know how the trunk opened like how it did. Is it because the system was depressurized?

I LOVE HOW THE MUSIC STARTS AND STOPS. VERY PROFESSIONAL.
I love how this guide went from "manually close top" to "you will need star diagnostic to roll up the windows"... Smh typical lol
Anyone else under a overpass in a storm closing your roof by your self with no tools 😂
Is it common for these roofs to fail? Cool mechanics watching this roof function. I’m considering the slk350 but do worry it’s pricy to maintain.
So basically a faking nightmare :(
Well, 375 steps later...that needs some real simplification.

If you don’t all fluid will leak out of bleed screw.
Can you open the vario roof in the same way manually
I really like my R171, but they are ridiculously over complicated. 😒
how to open it manually??????
Did you ever find out? Just wanted to get my top down even though pump is gone.
@@bunnyhnt you cant
@@islam_will_Dominate umm. Yes you can.. already did it bro. Still waiting on pump to come in. Put top up and down every day it's not raining 🙂
Was actually easier than I expected. Takes literally 2mins to do. So surprise there's no video. Wife says I should make one.
@@bunnyhnt How do you do it? Care to share?
Can you do E93?
why is this so much more complicated than the R170 ???
Hola! ! alguien me podría decir por favor que tipo de aceite lleva el deposito del capó de un mercedes benz slk r170...
I'd rather fix that
Faaaaark
