The Vario roof of the SLK is leaky. • Apply special lubricant to all suspected leaky areas. • Carefully check the vehicle for leaky areas from the outside. • Pay particular attention to checking the bar seal between the front and rear side window. • Ensure that the gap dimension is correct! • If not, water can enter here. • Adjust the front window if necessary. • Also check the gap dimensions at joint 1 and 2. • Joint 2 is correct. • Joint 1 is relatively large, meaning that water can enter. • Check vehicle for damp areas. Carefully feel the seat upholstery and carpet. • Have a large quantity of dry towels ready. • A rain test will show you where the leaks are actually located. • Spray water on suspected leaky areas for at least five minutes. • Ideally, look for leaks from the inside of the vehicle. • Your suspicions are confirmed - water is entering at joint 1. • If no water enters after five minutes, keep spraying the vehicle for at least 20 minutes more. • The water may need time to penetrate into the vehicle interior. • The rain test can also be performed using the towels mentioned earlier. • Place sufficient towels on the seat and footwell so that you find all of the leaks. • Perform a rain test again. • After 20 minutes, check whether and where water has entered. • Before opening the door, dry off the water from the outside. • As previously, water has again entered at joint 1. • The repair can now be performed in the workshop. • The repair should also be performed if the contact pressure of the two seals on the joint is too high. • The rubber seals can ripple and water can enter. • Here, the contact pressure of the seals at joint 1 is insufficient and must be corrected. • Dry the entire roof area including rear window and side windows. • The roof must be in the intermediate position for this. • A support is used to ensure that the roof does not suddenly collapse. • Remove the key to depressurize the hydraulic components. • Remove the four screws from the front section. • Lever out the five clips on the back using a plastic wedge. • The headliner is now loose and can be removed downwards. • The seal through which the water enters the interior compartment is now accessible. • Loosen the screws holding the seal to the weatherstrip rail. • The seal can now be moved and optimally positioned. • This prevents water entry at the joints. • Apply some force to pull the seal into the desired position. • Retighten all screws. • Check the seal for correct seating. • To do so, remove the support and close the Vario roof. • Check the leaky area on joint 1 again with the roof closed. • The gap dimension is correct and the seals are touching each other cleanly. • Here are the two gap dimensions again for comparison: Before the repair at the top, after the repair at the bottom. • Perform another rain test just to make sure. • Note: When reinstalling, pay attention to the two catch tabs on the side of the headliner. • These must engage cleanly otherwise the headliner will not be correctly seated. • Finally, turn up the two lower sealing lips towards the front. • ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • instagram: • / mbownersclub • twitter: • / mb_owners
