- Today i will be fixing the SL500 roof convertible. Surprisingly, i have a similar problem to the SL55 AMG that Tavarish owns. So shout out to him for the directions and reference in his video. It made fixing mine so easy! Can you believe how much Mercedes Benz wanted! Also this is a 2003 SL500 but i believe this fix is for all R230 models
HERE IS THE PART!!

I appreciate all the help and support on this build! If you have any parts or tools for sale to help the build or if you wanted to send me something that I can unbox on the channel, let me know in the comments and I will open a P.O. Box!
This was my dream car at one point, back when I first started working my boss bought one, pops and I had to pull the rear end and line up the frame, getting that top to work right was a nightmare. After that i no longer dreamed of them 😂
Good job on the repair sir 🫡
I CANT IMAGINE trying to line line up the rear end on this car… WAY too many moving parts/ hydraulics/vacuum lines. Sure sounds like a nightmare
@@HaydenSchreier sure is a nightmare, one tiny little bump or something as it’s closing and it just resets 😂
I had exactly the same problem about 10 yrs. ago. I simply cut a small metal plate about 1.5mm thick and put it underneath the teeth block, which basically raised the teeth up to fit more snugly in the gear cog. It worked perfectly and still does. That cost me approx. zero.
haha thats epic!
@@HaydenSchreier Thanks mate. PS - I wasn't trying to be cocky. Just trying to say how I solved the problem in front of me. Have a good one!
@@fedup3449 i never thought you were cocky! thats thinking outside the box! thank you for sharing!
Very interesting but could you sslowdown explanations please to feel a little bit more confortable for other countrys. Thank you very much for your job!
Starting to blend into the Floridian crowd now with the convertible benz 🤣🤣🔥🔥
Muahahah
I miss the golf r build
Waiting one last part thats on backorder!!! Super annoying!
Excellent Job with the Mercedes convertible !!! I love all your videos.
Thank you very much!
Great video, excellent job explaining the procedure!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice SL
Thank you fam
I probably see this in my future, as I just got an '05.
Don't you think you should be concentrating on the Golf R? What's happening with It, given up because the rear end is bent?
Im waiting on the last of the parts to come in.. its on backorder
The Golf R rear end is about to be looking factory 😉
@@23RD After it's been pulled and aligned on a chassis jig. No parts required to show how that rear deck will be flattened
Now back to the Golf R please
Haha these stupid parts are backordered!
What watch is that it looks lit
haha its an apple watch with a gold band and cover on it
Mine says partition isnt closed but it is an the top wont open ? Any ideas
yes more than likely the "soft close" feature on your car is broken and the trunk doesnt think it is closed when it is. people slam it to close it and then it works, which typically breaks the parts that you saw me replace. otherwise theres a possibility that the partition needs to be opened and closed and made sure its fully seated, you can also check if it is getting a signal
What's the part number

@HaydenSchreier Thanks Hayden! both of mine are hanging real loose so hopefully that's the problem. I just finished putting coilovers on it to get rid of that ABC system
if you have the orginal factory ones then yes its most likely the problem as i believe they were made of plastic and these are now metal. check and see what you have on. if they are metal than you might just need to reset the teeth in it and tighten it
@@HaydenSchreier Thanks for the advice.
Help me fix mine
whats wrong with it?
