Soft top problems on my CLK 230
Im from Sweden so sorry for my bad English, I will do my best to try to explain 
When I start the car the cab buttom turns red and when i put in D it starts to beep. When I open the cab it working without any problems, when I close the cab everything works perfekt too and the red light is turning off BUT if I drive over a bump with the top on suddenly it starts too beep and all the windows is opening.
What is wrong? I read in another forum that it could be the torn wires, what is that?

Beeping when you put the car in drive means that one of the three locks (rear bow lock, tonneau cover lock, or manual front/top lock) is not giving a "closed" signal.
Driving over a bump with the top up and the windows suddenly going down, means that there is a signal from the manual latch in the front that simulates you have turned the latch to open it. This almost certainly means a wiring problem in the front latch, and MagmaRed55 has pointed you to the correct thread.
Just for completeness, bad wires can also occur in the hinge for the storage (tonneau) cover, and cause the top not to work (not the case for you). This is covered in posts 80+/- of https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class-w208/519324-clk-convertible-top-problem-solving-common-electrical-hydraulic-system-failures.html.
