I assume you mean the soft top cover does not lower? This is most likely a microswitch that has failed and is not reporting the proper position of something. Does the cover close properly when closing the soft top? If so, then it's probably this one:
Top kind of hung in trunk with tunnel up some and then the 2nd time I held the switch and she dropped quickly down in to place. It hadn't been down for 2 years. Does it need lube? Maintenance? I will work it several more times.
Just got this car. Worked several times perfectly. Now it will not lock completely down. the back of the Trunk is stays open 2 inches and dash says Not locked down. Where do I look? Thanks for any help
From my experience had a problem with the soft top had LEAKING 2 Cylinders done both put new seals replaced hydraulic fluid and now it works fine on my CLK 320 W208 same on a W209 it could also be the Module but first look if the cylinders are leaking Stan

The hydraulic pump for the convertible top system is in the trunk area, behind a trim panel on the left side. It is easy to get to once you can open the trunk again. On the pump is a reservoir with a min/max marker for the fluid level. That is easily checked.

and one pushing top physically down. Weak cylinders doesn't mean leaky cylinders. Thanks
