Removal or attachment of the hard­
top is best done at an authorized
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer, although
this can be carried out by 2 per­
sons.
The soft top must be completely
dry before it is placed in the stor­

gage the locks in the windshield
header bar and behind the doors

the glove compartment after use.
The hardtop has five latching
points:
Front = two locks in windshield
header bar
