Question How to reset my convertible top!

Hi folks...

I have a 97 SL320 and the battery lost power do to lack of driving! After recharging I now see that my top stops at the top right before lowering into the boot when trying to lower it. Is the a way to reset the top? It seems to be out of sink? Oh yes I'm getting a reset code on the radio as well...I have the code for that! Any suggestions on resetting the top???? Help!

if I remember well you should syncronize the windows 1st lowering them and then rising them and holding the botton for a few seconds and then you should be done.

Cheers.

Always replace the battery, once it has gone fully flat, as you will have damaged one of the cells, 100Amps is preffered also purchase a trickle charge system.

After resetting the windows the top should be okay,

Also remember to turn the steering wheel fully clockwise and ully anti clockwise,
this will reset the alignment system for the ABS/ESP
The lights will then go out
