[R129 SL] Hardtop compatibility

[Clifton Richardson]

Victor,
 
I have experienced this problem and I found that driving the car around the
block then trying again solved my problem!

Gentelmen
I hate to jump in the middle of this tread. I have a 1999 sl500 sport. Today
the weather report said no rain for at least two weeks. I currently have the
hard top on and was going to remove it. When pulling the switch back to
un-due the top, the switch blinks, but nothing else happens. When pushing
the switch forward the hard top seems to pull down tighter.I unplugged the
rear defroster thinking that it may have something to do with the hard top
not coming undone, but it didnt make a difference. Any help would be great.
thanks in advance
Victor

some "minor adjustments" . . . the specific nature of said "tweaking"
unspecified-- but presumably involving the latching mechanisms.
 
I can tell you however, than my 92 and 99 appear to my eye to be virtually
identical.
