Have always loved the Mercedes CLK – it’s a 20 year old car that still looks elegant, timeless, classy and luxurious. I picked up one for a sunny day cruiser back in 2021, and have been doing the odd repair and upgrade over the years.
This is a common problem, when you raise the roof there’s these little bits of fabric that stick out at the rear window. The most likely cause is worn out and broken elastics in the roof mechanism. Fortunately if you’ve got a bit of time (and elastic) available, you can fix this yourself easily for a few dollars.
Please like comment and subscribe – it gives me a reason to make more videos! Would also appreciate content suggestions. I love all cars – petrol, electric, euro, japanese – as long as it’s interesting, I’m all for it!
I've uploaded another CLK roof repair video – if the side fabric doesn't fold in at the rear window, the hem has come undone – this is how you fix it https://youtu.be/UGE5z2ereaM
I love what you did, but my car is different, I have a 2012 e350 convertible, it uses wire spring loaded cables about 12 inches long on each side. The thin wire cables break and then I am stuck with the problem. Is there a fix for this as well? I really wish I could just replace the cables. The trick is finding the path and feeding the cables through… I hope you can help. Thanks so much.
