#4 of 26 Mercedes SLK Retractable Hardtop issue by moxie75 Apr 03, 2007 (1:49 am)
I'm experiencing trouble with my retractable hartop. It goes all the way up and goes all the way down but stops before rolling all the windows up and I'm also getting the red light blinking on the button that retracts it. Can anyone help with this issue?   thanks, Lisa Replies to this message: 1slkguy (Apr 09, 2007 8:30 am)

Replying to: moxie75 (Apr 03, 2007 1:49 am) I think you'll need to take it in to a Mercedes-Benz service dealership...

#8 of 26 Water in the Gas by ddmtb Apr 23, 2007 (4:31 pm)
My Wife's 99 SLK stalled the other day. It restarted ok, she then took it to the dealer to check diagnostics.   They said the gas had water in it and charged $1000 to drain tank, fuel lines, etc.   Is the only option for this happening buying bad gas. Or does water build up over time and get in the fuel line. Can't see how that would happen if fuel is pumped from the bottom of the tank, but is that the case?   Anybody have this happen to them? thanks.
#9 of 26 RUN FLAT TIRES by jlettie2 May 12, 2007 (7:17 am)
Has anyone had problems with the RUN Flats on either the SLK 280 or 350. I have read other manufactures BMW and LEXUS will not stand-by these tires. Customers are replacing these tires as many as 3 times a year. These tires are extremely noisy and can damage the front end. I have read on the web site that there is a class action suit against BMW due to these tires. Has any MERCEDES owner having similar problems with MB? I wish manufactures would wise up and remove these run flats, they could be a safety issue.

#11 of 26 What type of gas do I use? by bugsndaffy Sep 21, 2007 (7:32 pm)
I have a 1999 MBZ SKL 230 that I am about to purchase. I was curious to know whether it is okay to put regular 87 gas in the car or if I need to use supreme 91 gas? Replies to this message: wogasa (Aug 26, 2008 12:48 pm)
#12 of 26 SLK Top Rubber Seal Maintenance by jehrenwald Dec 28, 2007 (8:47 pm)
I have a 2002 SLK 320, and the top and trunk are very noisy with the top up. I went to the dealership and was told that the only possible adjustment is to lubricate the rubber seals with a special oil...has anyone experienced this? Is there anything else I could do to fix the noise?   Thanks !!! Replies to this message: greasykid1 (Jan 06, 2008 8:19 am)

Replying to: jehrenwald (Dec 28, 2007 8:47 pm) When my wife's SLK350 squeaks--about twice a year--I take it to the dealer and they lube it and it is quiet again. These are only minor squeaks not rattles. No charge from dealer. If you do this yourself ONLY use lub that is made for rubber. No WD40 etc.
