Before you can start, open the boot of your Mercedes SLK. Begin by unclipping and removing the internal side covers of the boot. Next, loosen the screw that adjusts the hydraulic pressure of the roof. Once done, pull the hooks on both sides. This will free the roof. Proceed by opening the corresponding hatch.
