e220 cabriolet roof issue
Hi everybody.
I readed some threads here about a124 roof issues but i couldnt find similar to mine.
The roof is working but not close propely when i wanna slide it down.
Can be the problem because of window ? Cause my left back window is not working and not going down.
If i fix the window problem does the roof go also down ?
Tnx

I don't think the stuck rear window would seriously hinder top closure. I think you have two separate problems.
Do you realize that the top goes up only so far, then needs to be snapped down by hand to complete to job?
The windows are controlled by a module located under the rear seat. The module has eight relays - two for each window - one for up, the other for down. I suspect one relay has burned contacts, which can be fixed for no cost if you're resourceful. The exact same thing happened to my cabriolet (LR window would not go down). Cleaning the contacts solved the problem. Clean them all.
