Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / January 2007SLK 320-convertible won’t convert!
:( I have a SLK convertible and was involved in a head-on car accident on 8/10. Walked away from it uninjured! Was traveling with top down even let it back up before the wrecker took "him" away. Since that time have gotten it fixed except the top won’t come down. All of the dashboard lights are staying on as I drive-even in the daytime. Is this an electrical problem now? a fuse? or computer? I want to know so I will know which mechanic to have the repair shop take it too  SignaturePosted at author's request, using http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Articles individually verified to usenet standards.

Let the insurance pay for the repair. I’ve taken it back and now I’m waiting on the cmputer parts or something to come in. I don’t want to be without my car so its in my driveway. I go down to the bodyship at least 2-3 times a week and that’s beginning to turn into 1-2 times a day > Since this car was repaired by body shop... via insurance I > believe... let > them fix it.

Luckily MyNuMan, again I ask you...what am I missing here? You entrusted your SLK320 Convertible to a body shop, that COULD NOT EVEN identify your car was a convertible? gamini from my understanding-not just because I’m a woman--but it made sense to me at the time/ The body shop is responsible for repairing the body and they in turn call in the mechanics--which in my case has to be an experience, reputable mercedes mechanic. Why do the mechinic work if the car was undriveable due to the wreckage (right front fender). they took that part off and replaced/repaired it. It’s the electrical part that needs to be done right now! It is to be put on a computer and anything associated with the wreck will be repaired by the body/repair shop if it’s not then it’s my expense.

[...] Wait a minute?! accident on 8/10 and you kept driving the car unrepaired all this time?! no, it’s been in the shop that long! and I got it to drive to see what I would notice that a wasn’t quite right. It runs GREAT a few noises but everything had to be replaced --brand newand/or special ordered parts! I will take it back to the repair shop because I have up to a year before he can cash the check and I know he wants all of his money :!: > Wait a minute?! accident on 8/10 and you kept driving the car > unrepaired all > this time?!

After the repair, the top does not work. (In addition to the other problems of warning lights.) No brainer as to whom should fix the problems. Whoever/where-ever the car was fixed. gamini needless to say, the bodyshop didn’t even know it was a convertible until I told him! Luckily I had before pics of my car! He has not said he won’t fix the top but he did mention something about 3 computer brains on the car and it must be within one of those! I really just wanted to drive my car to see if I could stand the fact that it was in an accident--head on--now I get kind of nauseated while driving it :cry: ! It must be anxiety or something. But once I get behind the wheel and hit the expressway or turnpike I’m o.k. > MyNuMan wrote: > > :( I have a SLK convertible and was involved in a head-on [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > gamini SignaturePosted at author's request, using http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Articles individually verified to usenet standards.
