The Hydraulic system must be pressurized and filled with fluid to the proper level in order for your rear windows to go back up. You can buy the MB fluid ONLY at the dealer or online and fill up the pump. You can search on the forum and find how to refill it. There is obviously a leak somewhere that will have to be fixed, but you should be able to get your windows back up if you give it a quick refill...
