My roll bar deployed automatically when I went through an extremely bumpy intersection and now it will not go down. I followed the instructions in the manual nut it is like there is "no one home' in the motor that operates it. Is there a fuse for the rollbar motor? If so where? I have checked all three fuse boxes and it is not listed on any of them. HELP!
I have a 2005 CLK 320. Roll bars deployed on a bump with the top up. Here's how to fix it: There is a reset port about 12 in below each headrest. The port is hard to find, but you can actually glimpse it with good light and/or a flashlight and some head/neck contortion. When facing forward the port is on the left side of each headrest. The port is oval in shape, about 4mm x 8mm, positioned about 10 mm forward of the support post and about 5mm to its left. Essentially, its an oval hole in black sheet metal. Mercedes mentions an allen key tool included with the car, but you can use a very long screwdriver or, preferably, a metal shishkabob barbecue skewer (by far the best) to reset the mechanism. Slide the tool (skewer, screw driver or allen key) straight down along the side of the headreast and then very carefully angle the tip forward and to the left (of car) to go into the port. Again, you can see this if you try. Push down on the spring under the port and hold down while you push down (Hard) on the headrest to its full reset position. Then remove the tool. Voila!
Before the reset, the top would not go down. After the reset, no problemo. Dennis
This happened to me recently, but i can't remember exactly how i overcame it. i think i lowered the windows and released the front roof catch, then lower the head rests using the switch.

I have a 2000 CLK 320 Cab. The top will not deploy, and the rollbar is stuck in the up position, which I believe is the source of the problem with the top. Is there a way to manually lower the rollbar? Initially, I was dealing with the top not deploying, and in the process, I attempted to raise and lower the rollbar via the rollbar switch. I hear some sharp noises, which are described in the manual as "locks" which are normal noises. However, afterward I could not lower the rollbar. Up to now the top has operated as expected in the 16 months I've owned the car. Any suggestions?
I went over a speed bump and heard a clanging sound in my trunk. My hazard lights suddenly came on and now my top won't come down and flashes visit workshop.
my rollbar won't go down nor will the top. It sounded like the motor of the rollbar was running after it went up the sound stop after about two minutes and now it won't do anything.
