Suggest reading how to in owners manual. If you dont have it go to dealership and get a new one. Lots of how to and service for the top.

Do you check the hydraulic fluid level, on my 1997 Sl 500, with the top up or down?

Top needs to be up when top is down the Pistons extend with fluid showing it is low and if you fill at that time when you close it the Pistons will go back in and fluid will run out and possible cause of a leak

Replacing the hard top on a Mercedes SL 320. The roof has docked at the offside front but none of the other points are in. However, now I cannot release the one point that has gone in... Is there an...

yes there is a manual release for the locks. Hopefully you still have the tool kit with the soft top tool in it. It will have a open wrench on one side and a allen on the other. For the rear locks use the open end wrench side and behind the side trunk panels you can see the mechanism for the rear latches. Slide the tool over the release mechanism and move upwards while lifting up on the top. For the front latches swing the visors to the side and remove little round cover. Insert allen side of tool and rotate until latch unlocks. Make sure vehicle is running when ever you operate the top or hard top as voltage can affect the operation of the latches.

Check and spin fuses, make sure is on flat level surface. Check hydralic fluid level, check for leaks in pistons for the top. Then follow owners manual.

I need to raise the soft top on my mercedes 500 sl but when i try with the switch it makes a noise but nothing happens is there a way to raise it manualy

There is no way to raise it manually. You most likely have bad seals/pistons that have leaked out the fluid. Check your manual for where you can put fluid into it, and pop over to benzworld.org for group help on mercedes issues.

Did you release the winshield locks? and remove the defroster wire? After that you should pull back on the switch and the pins should just release to the body.

How do i remove hardtop on a 1990 mercedes sl 500

Assuming the hardtop/soft top system is operating properly-push the red switch in the console towards back of car until the top pops up. Make sure you unplug the defroster harness at the r rear of top (behind passenger seat. It will take 2 people to grab the top and pull it up and off. If this system is inoperable- there is a tool in the tool kit(if not you can buy one at the dealer-called a hard top removal tool) and unlock the 2 locks in the front of the top by the sun visors, and 2 locks located behind the seats by the quarter glass panels and the 2 locks in the rear accessible through the trunk. Your owners manual will describe how to do this procedure. I hope i have been helpful

Cant get soft top up on 1995 sl 320 mercedes I bought today.. can hear it trying - but seems locked?

Sounds like you are probably low on fluid. Check for leaks and fill system. Also make sure car is level. I also suggest you get an owners manual as all of it is covered by the book.
