  • The Mercedes-Benz R107 Hardtop turns this roadster into an elegant coupe, but at 75kg, it can be quite a handful. In this video, we show you how to safely get the hard top on and off the car without causing damage or injury to yourself or the car.

    This was super helpful. Could never figure out the latch release issues. Thank you

    If your garage has the height, an electrical hoist bolted to a ceiling beam makes the job so much easier.

      I have a hand-crank hardtop hoist, and it works great.

    I have had my 560SL for 2 days and still can't get the bolt behind the driver to fully rotate. The passenger side and back free up as designed.

    This is a *very* silly question, but are all of these hardtops removable? I have seen one for sale nearby, and it appears to be a hardtop, but I am not sure whether or not it is removable.

      All SL hardtops are removable, but Mercedes-Benz also manufactured an “SLC” variant which has a longer wheelbase and a fixed roof.

    The lever in my car does not rotate all the way back. Why is this?

      My pin won't disengage once the window stile lever is moved rearward. The smaller handle has no tension in it so it is stubbornly stuck lose but not free.

    So removal is a two person job for sure in my case....
