Soft Top Operation Diagnostic Aid

There is a great diagnostic aid available for the R230 SL:

I have been unable to find anything like this for the W209, so I decided to create one. It's a work in progress, and I am not certain that it's all correct. So, please take a look and give me some feedback - definitely correcting anything I have wrong! Over time, I'll add to it, maybe with nice diagrams like the R230 version.

Thanks to member Keyhole on benzworld for some corrections regarding some typos (referring to S84/13 as S84/12 adn S84/3 as S84/2 and neglecting to mention S84/23 - the right side of S84/22) I'm now on V1.2. I am going to always keep the latest version name as this:
