GROUP 77, MY 95 MODEL 129
SOFT TOP STOPS HALFWAY DURING OPENING OR
CLOSING SEQUENCE, POSSIBLY WITH DTC 100 OR 101

As of chassis no. F111030, a new soft top control module was introduced, which lowers the windows slightly when opening the door (as known from S Class coupe). With this change, the window lifters must be synchronized (similar to S Class) before the soft top is fully operational. To synchronize the window lifters, hold the window lifter switches in the closing position for at least 2 seconds after the window is closed. Diagnostic information will be released within three weeks.
