We have found there is a common fault for the W209 CLK model. The roof develops a water leak from the top of the windscreen on the soft top.
Vario
The Mercedes Coupe Cabriolet is the hard convertible top, and is a fully automatic electronic roof system.
At Cayman Autos we are able to offer repairs to these complex systems. There are approximately 50% more moving parts than in the electric soft top version - the control unit for the roof relies upon a network of sensors and microswitches for a smooth operation. Models Include :

- Mercedes R230
- Mercedes SLK
These, along with any other roof failure problems for your Mercedes, please contact us to discuss.
