The Mercedes Benz is one of the leading manufacturers producing the biggest range of cabriolet vehicles over the years that have been brought to the convertible market and nothing quite like the Star badge excludes power, beauty and elegance.
From the Mercedes SL R129 and Mercedes E Class W124 through to the latest SLC and C range convertibles, at Cayman Auto Services we are able to provide competitive repairs to your convertible roof mechanism and keep many parts in stock from hydraulic pumps, sensors and roof ECUs. We aim where possible to diagnose and complete the repair the same day where possible. Keeping your Mercedes cabriolet roof system in top working order is essential and we recommend an annual roof service to keep the convertible roof system well lubricated and free of squeaks.
Like all soft top and hard 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
