Which keys to use to unlock the Mercedes w129 soft top?
Years 1989-2001

Answer

To unlock the hard top that covers the copte and be able to extract it, just use an 11 mm fixed wrench: it is likely that it will need to be flattened a little to be able to thin it and make it a sort of fork; a 6mm Allen key will then be needed to open the hood to the windscreen pillar.
