Howdy to all from "totally-inappropriate-for-a-droptop-in-the-winter-Calgary". Proud owner of a 2006 SLK55 since new. The car was my daily for years, even through the snowy seasons, now having over 140,0000km under the wheels. That said, I've parked it for the past 3 winters as it's now getting to the age that it is in need of some maintenance and upkeep. I stumbled across this forum in the last while and have been lurking through all of the amazing information posted. The roof and windows currently have an issue, but with the sage advise of the forum, this looks to be a relatively simple door controller issue and will be tackling that repair shortly. Currently in the middle of upgrading my head unit, and thanks to the generosity of posters, I've been able to almost finish that project. Once it's working completely, I'll add my finding. Cheers

Some tips to make your visit here more enjoyable:
If you haven’t, please use the 'search' feature at the top right of the page for your questions as they have probably been asked before. Remember, ‘Search’ is your friend.
If you wish to become PM (Private Message) capable, you need 15 posts. To get those 15 posts quickly, just go to the ‘New members introduce yourself here’ section and welcome enough new members to obtain your needed posts to PM.
Want to post a picture? Start a new thread or make a post, click ‘edit’, click on the ‘paper clip’ or ‘advanced’ and/or ‘manage attachments’ then ‘choose file’ then ‘upload’ and ‘submit’! If Iphone pics, you need to rename any additional pics as Iphone names its pics all the same, image.jpg.
Want to ‘like’ or thank’ someone’s comments? Use the ‘like’ button to the right or the ‘Thanks’ button, bottom right of any post you like. This saves you having to comment.
New members should be aware that the 'New Posts' link next to the 'Search' link top right of the info bar is a great way to see all of the posts you have missed since you were on the forum last. Remember to click 'mark forums read' under ‘quick links’ when you leave.
