2000 model clk 230 convertible ,headrest are down but will not operate by auto button soft top will not go up or down unless manually done,can hear the roof motor attempting to lift roof but doesn't. have tried to reset the headrest/roll over bar but heard no clicks n still have same probs any ideas wat to check next
Looks like a failed relay:
"I sat in the car and started pushing the roll bar button. We heard a click every time I pushed it. My brother was at the back of the car and was trying to hear where the clicking was coming from. He realized it was coming from a relay switch so he took a screwdriver and tapped the top of the relay and **BAM** everything starts working! So through that we realized it was a bad relay".
Fixed my convertible top problems

I have a 2005 CLK 320. Roll bars deployed on a bump with the top up. Here's how to fix it: There is a reset port about 12 in below each headrest. The port is hard to find, but you can actually glimpse it with good light and/or a flashlight and some head/neck contortion. When facing forward the port is on the left side of each headrest. The port is oval in shape, about 4mm x 8mm, positioned about 10 mm forward of the support post and about 5mm to its left. Essentially, its an oval hole in black sheet metal. Mercedes mentions an allen key tool included with the car, but you can use a very long screwdriver or, preferably, a metal shishkabob barbecue skewer (by far the best) to reset the mechanism. Slide the tool (skewer, screw driver or allen key) straight down along the side of the headreast and then very carefully angle the tip forward and to the left (of car) to go into the port. Again, you can see this if you try. Push down on the spring under the port and hold down while you push down (Hard) on the headrest to its full reset position. Then remove the tool. Voila!
Before the reset, the top would not go down. After the reset, no problemo. Dennis
SOURCE: clk top will not go back up seems dead..all fuses checked
It is normal for the roll bar to rise when top is down. It seems like the rear valance cover is not secured and the soft op does not understand what position it is in. There is a way to manually close top. it is stated in your owners manual. also I would try to close top with button(assuming your vehicle will start and the battery has good voltage) start car and try to operate top down and try pushing on rear cover also make sure the retractable cover in trunk is extended to compress operation switch

Couple different things here that may help you depending on the year of your CLK. Since the rear headrest on the CLK aslo doubles as the roll bar it is possible that they got deployed. To reset the rear headrest on the CLK prior to 2004 hold the rear headrest button or roll bar button in the up position for about 10 seconds or until you hear a click sound.(max 15 seconds). Then try to lower the headrest again. Holding the switch in the up position will re engage the roll bar mechanism in order to lower the headrest down again. On 2004 and newer CLK's the rear headrest can only be reset manually with the special tool that should be in the glove box or with the tool kit. It is a skinny piece of metal in the shape of the # 7. With that tool you have to depress a tab on the side of the headrest and push down on the headrest at the same time. It can be kinda hard to push down. There should be an illustration in the owners manual. Let me know.
