Cayman specialise in solving Mercedes CLK roof problems
If you are suffering from a wet cabin or boot area in your Mercedes CLK Convertible, contact us and we can talk you through the steps that lead to water reduction in your cherished cabriolet.
The Mercedes CLK W208 & W209 models are examples of beautifully built, extremely elegant four seater drop top in the Mercedes convertible range.
The convertible hood itself, available in black, blue or grey and is probably the most sophisticated soft top around. No manual intervention is required and the whole process operates in a matter of seconds, the multi-layered hood vanishing beneath a flush cover at the back.
The cabriolet fabric hood also offers class leading thermal insulation and noise absorption qualities. What’s more, it can all be operated by remote control from your key fob as you approach your vehicle.
Like all soft top cabriolets they have their faults and in particular, lack of attention to care and maintenance can lead to water ingress and the usual electrical and mechanical faults caused by water damage on the operational roof system

Frequently asked questions about Mercedes CLK roof repairs
Why is there hydraulic fluid leaking from my sun visor?
Leaks near the sun visor are common in older SL R129 and CLK 209 models, as hoses and rams can wear out over time. We offer repairs to keep things tidy and leak-free.
