Hey guys I have a 98 Slk230 with a trunk that will NOT close. Well will slose after almost 2 attempts. Then when i do get it closed the roof wont open.The roof switch flashes. I have lubricated the latch and it has not helped. When its open I press the trunk button and the latch doesnt move. Need your help. It is finally sunny here in Seattle and im cooped up a SLK with a broken trunk and roof. Please let me know what i can do to fix this. Thanks everyone in advance. :thumbsup:

Sounds like you may have a bad switch, there are several through out the car.. Two in the roof one on the center console, one for the curtin in the trunk and i beleave two in the trunk that tell the system when the roof is folded down or fully up. Start with these links

The correct adjustment is 8mm ('V') from the trunk to the bumper - adj by removing the black plastic covers in the trunk to get to the bolts.
