I would recommend rebuilding all five of the hydraulic cylinders.
Slk230 roof cylinder rebuild.
75 for standard rebuild service where you send in your cylinder first to be rebuilt.
I replaced the five vario roof hydraulic rams and tried to shoot a video of the process at the same time.
The hydraulic roof actuating cylinder on the driver side was leaking hydraulic fluid.
In particular the left side release cable broke when i pulled and the left side front roof latch will not release.
Unlike anyone else top hydraulics replaces and upgrades all port seals where the hoses go in.
Having removed the cover i was able to use a screwdiver to release the latch and move the trunk back to the emergency open position.
The hydraulic roof actuating cyliders 3 and the hydraulic cylinder for lock actuation 4 are located in the retractable top.
Replacing your leaking cylinders will buy you the original problem back top hydraulics upgrades get you a product that is far better than new inside.

You can see the leak on the plastic panel in the slk s trunk.
