Has anyone else had this issue? I ran to the store today with the top down and when I got home I opened the trunk to reach in and grab something without putting the top up. When I was pulling it out of the narrow opening in the trunk I must have hit something because the roof lifted in the trunk into the position it is now in. As long as I've had the car it's never raised like that before and I've never used the red button that controls it. It's now stuck in that position and the top will not open or close. The dash just shows the trunk lid open when I try to open or close the roof. The red button does not work because I have tried it before unless I'm not doing something right. I tried it with the emergency brake on as well with no luck. All flaps look normal as well. It's a 2007 SL 55 with 25,000 miles. I really hate to bring it to Mercedes if I don't have to because there is only one in town and their prices are all over the place. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
Your cargo divider, where it latches onto the right and left side of the trunk latches, fiddle behind that, there's an electrical connector, make sure it's in tight, or unplug it and plug it back in. That's what fixed it for me when i had that issue.
I fixed it! After a little research about the red button in the trunk I took the cover off to look at the connection underneath and it was disconnected. After reconnecting and crossing my fingers...The button lights up and the stored roof now raises and lowers.
