2009 CLK 550
Convertible gap
Good day all.
My convertible 2009 550 does not entirely close on the back, the part below the rear window that, supposedly, meets the roof of the trunck. There is gap that you can see in the rear view mirror, a narrow one, I imagine less than 4 cm. This is not a huge deal as when going through the car wash water does not seep in, much less rain, I would imagine (it does not rain much here in Phoenix, AZ).
Where I think the gap may be problematic is driving in the freeway: unwanted noise.
Has anyone had a similar issue? what is the fix?
Many thanks!
