CLK209 Convertible Top will not open
My CLK209 convertible top will not open. The windows open and the back of the soft top cover jinks up about 8mm (3/8 inch) then line 24 leaks at the o'ring. I think that the reason that line 24 leaks is that the the soft top cover has not opened enough to free the rear windows from the cover. Can anyone point me in the right direction about why the cover does not open all the way. The top can be opened and closed manually so I suspect that none of the cylinders are jammed.

Found the problem. The roof would work manually but would not work automatically since I purchased the vehicle. After checking the video from Klaus (Top Hydraulics) several times I noticed that one of the top cover micro switches was installed backwards. One switch is installed one way and the other the reverse (both switches are identical). Roof now works.
