Roof open problem Mercedes SL500 r230
Hello guys 👋🏻 Im posting my first thread and hope you will help. I am from GEORGIA 🇬🇪 And i had a problem. 8 cylinder in trunk was leaking but i fixed it and correctly fitted 32and92. Then i refilled oil and tried to open roof (before i wanted to close it was closed but not properly because of 8 cylinder)so just run the car and tried to open but it didn’t opened it started to open very slowly (only trunk) it opens half and then pump stops working and the light on the button (from which i open/close roof) starts flashing or how i can tell it turns flicker on the dashboard it shows ,,In Operation”. So can anyone help me? Hope you will🙏🏻

Check your pump fluid level again to make sure another leak hasn't drained it. Also you may need to fill the fluid multiple times as the system re-primes the cylinders. When I replaced all my cylinders, it took three top offs to get the system full. If your trunk is not raising all the way before the pump shuts off, then it is likely the pump is running out of fluid.
