Hydraulic leak on top for Mercedes clk 320 2004

Sounds like you have blown a hydraulic hose that operates the top mechanism. You will probably need to find a local mechanic that is experienced with hydraulic operated tops or a dealership. But check you owners manual. Most manufacturers have a manual way of operating the top to allow you to secure it until repairs can be made.

I think you should buy repair manual first for your vehicle after that it will be easy for you to solve the problem. Check the link may be you will find something useful here Mercedes Benz CL CLK Maybach SL Class Complete Workshop Service Repair...

The top mechanism is hydraulic. Why did you move it manually? Be careful, the hydraulic tubing is plastic and you don't want to apply too much pressure trying to close it, you may damage the tubing. What happens when you try to 'power the top up'? Maybe if you have help pulling it while you try the switch.

if the light keep blinking it meat all the status for operating not complete could be one thing wrong, first need to be check separating lid in boot if it's properly close and also try 3-4 time that because some time the boot separation lid recognizing switch is not functioning, second step have a look any oil leaking on your roof if it's leaking you can see wet mark on your hood trim, and also have a look too small flaps at both coner between roof and front end of boot lid if the flaps are not close properly do it by hand and try, this is the only thing you can check, most common problems are oil leaking from hydraulic cylinders and boot separation contact switch or corner flaps, if not work any thing you have to get your car in to the Mercedes workshop for diagnose, is this information helped you?

is your soft top not working it's not the faulty relay, it's control by electronic control unit, it's call soft top control unit, so first do one thing, open boot and have a look, there are one separation lid which is winding like cover, you must have close your boot separation lid buy pulling it out and hang it on hook which is locate both side back in boot, there are two hooks for hookup the separation roller lid,you pull it out and hookup it on two hooks, and close boot then operate roof if still roof not working it's need to be diagnose because there are many sensors and switches are fitted in this system if one switch or sensor not work your roof will not longer be opening and also there are any hydraulic oil leaking or lack of oil in the pump, it will not work, so in this case you must drive your car to the authorized Mercedes workshop who have the right diagnose tool knowledge for this particular car,

in side the roof some hydraulic cylinders for operating your soft top now one cylinder leaking that's why oil leaking need to be replace new hydraulic cylinder is this information helped you?

make sure that you have the holder for the top in the trunk in position correctly and that the 'nubs' on each side of the plastic have triggered the switch on the right side when in position

The pumps rarely need replacing.

SLK top leaks are almost always caused by one (or more) of three hydraulic cylinders in a system of five cylinders. These three are the small latch cylinder located under the headliner, and the two larger cylinders that raise and lower the top located just behind both seats. The rod seals in all three are made using a proprietary material that is designed to break down over time. The other two cylinders in the system that raise and lower the trunk almost never go bad. This is because they are designed using the time tested Nitrile rubber O-rings, not the Novathan material that are in the other three.

Also, the SLK hardtop mechanical pivot points are notorious for needing to be greased every couple of years. When they stick, it seams as the pump does not have enough power to raise the top. Some times the pump gets blamed for symptoms that pertain to other problems.
