'06 clk 350 convertible top repair / replace
Hi everyone -
i have a 2006 clk350 / 55k miles / beach car use on long island. my convertible top is no longer working properly - took it to a shop and they said I needed to replace the hydraulic cylinders (at $1,800 per cylinder), and also need new hydraulic rims. the labor price quoted was 4,500, so it's close to 9k to fix it. if i want a replacement top, it's another 3,500. doesn't seem worth it, right? i think the resale value is about that amount. i've operated the top manually - it's a pain but it's doable. does anyone know someone who can tell me if this quote sounds accurate? anything else I can do as an easier/cheaper fix? i love the car and probably can drive it for another 10 years.....
