- 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.

Crikey mate! I've been looking for a solution to this problem for years now. Thanks for the video!
Glad the vid helps. Subscribe to the channel, I've got a few other CLK vids to upload inc changing drive belt, tensioners, stereo etc
Thanks m8.. what seems a simple fix for a very annoying problem x
well, for a 20 year old car at least it's a very quick, cheap and easy fix, unlike some other issues that have happened. On my CLK I've replaced the radiator, water pump, oil cooler, alternator so for the procedures I recorded I'll upload a few more videos too.
Thanks from the heart, I just have such a problem on my Clk
Have a go at fixing it, it's cheap and easy :)
great vid!!
Id not say worthless! I think its a Gem! an easy to work on Mercedes and plenty of parts :)
haha - a bit tongue in cheek I admit - what I mean is someone paid AUD $135,000 when this car was new, and I paid about 5% of that. CLKs are an amazing bargain, built well, drive great, looks amazing, and yes so far very easy to work on. Love driving this car on a crisp sunny day. Hunting for a CLK55 or CLK63 cabriolet now but there's not many in Australia for sale.
@@bozugarage great cars! lol
That was awesome dude. Can you come down to east London UK ? 😂
yeah man I used to live in enfield many years ago. Buy me a plane ticket and i'll be there tomorrow 😁
@@bozugarage wow small world even though you're across on the other side of London.
DIOS BENDIGA SUS MANOS Y SU INTELIGENCIA 🇵🇷👌
Thank you - good luck fixing your car!
Damn what a nice video.
I have one question.
Did you attach elastic band to the metal with just a knot? you don't have to secure it against slipping
erm... yep at the time I just wanted to try a quick fix and knotted the elastic around the metal. So far so good, it's been quite a few months since I did the fix and the roof is still closing up correctly. And if something goes wrong, it would only take a few minutes to get back in there and assess what fixes need to be done.
will this repair also work on 2011 A207 cabriolet with similar problems?
No reason you can't have a go - the A207 is a mild evolution of the A209 so the roof mechanism I believe will be very similar.
Can you fit My Mercedes
Fly me first class to your location and put me up in a 5 star accommodation and the answer is yes.
