Really useful and brief, no bullshit. Thank you! As a new owner of one of these sweet cars I'm looking to fix all the little gremlins, including the actuator.

Thank you a lot! I got 2008 clk 350. Same issue.

You saved me lots of diagnostic $$$!!!

Thanks for your advice! My problem is that it seems the Open or closing of the roof takes too long. Like the maybe the pump need fluid? I actually have to help the roof to Open or close, specially the rear part.

Nice. It’s actually gave me some indication in to what is wrong with mine. Thanks Buddy.

I have a 2008 clk350 when the fangs/latches open, it tries to go up, then it goes down and closes the fangs/latches. The top will not move on it's own. I haven't tried moving it manually. The back window opens up and stops. As long as I don't push it further than where it latches the fangs down, it will go closed all the way. If I push it up and the fangs/latches close when the top is up, it won't close unless I use a 6mm allen wrench to open them and let it go into place. Then it will close all the way. The fluid is in the center of low and high.

Is it possible to get to that piston at 1:40 if that lid won't come up? Can't get the lid to come up on my '06; changed the fuses, fluid is good, pumps and hydraulics are humming.
