Hi, I just bought an a208 and the top was working fine until i dropped it off at the detailers. After picking the car up, I heard a clicking noise from where the windshield meets the softtop, closer to the center reading lights. when i tried opening the roof, the rear bow and the tonneau cover came up, and everything stopped working. i manually opened the roof all the way, hoping to close it the right way, but now nothing works. the button stays red and i cannot hear any motors or electronics. i cannot even manually close the roof, it seems to be stuck inside the trunk. please help. i want to get the roof closed up asap and then get around fixng the softtop. thank you in advance
Hi, since yesterday the convertible top of my CLK does not work anymore. I had pushed a laundry basket probably too far in the trunk. Now the flap stands vertically in the air on the trunk. Do you have any idea how I can solve the problem? Because you can hear the click of the electronics, but nothing moves anymore.
What you need is this guy in the trunk at all times !! I cannot find any of these lock points with that pissing spanner. I quit on owning a cabriolet.....nothing but headaches and anger for me!!~~!~~
I've had my 208 for 4 years and had loads of challenges with the roof mechanism over those years. Quite often what I do in this situation is raise and lower the rear head rests/roll bars. This clamps the roof shut, opens the boot and tests that the hydraulic pump is working.
I just tryed your suggestion.....it must of helped. But the main issue was I had to hold up the front section of roof so the micro switches were all free.....then I let go at the right point and all was ok..roof opened.
It's behind the parking sensor screen, offset to the right passenger. Between the backseat and the carpet. There's a stud where the wrench fits and then you push on the wrench to close. Part of the steps of manually closing the top.

You earned the like! I didn't know what that tool was for or how to reset the top. You helped me learn something important. Thank your!

My top opens and stores in to trunk but case cover won’t close to complete open.. any thoughts. Top closes no problem.
Probably the position sensor for the case cover, but its going to be really hard to diagnose over the internet!
