Inspect your trunk. Make sure the area reserved for the roof mechanism is free from obstruction. Make sure the shield is properly in place. If it isn't properly in place a switch inhibits the roof mechanism. Just unhook the shield, pull it out slightly and re-hook the shield.
Good luck.
The top on my cervertible wouldn't work and it was the chain mechanism that had snapped - I seached around and found a Mercedes mechanic who fixed it for £200
To open a convertible top for a Mercedes CLK 430 manually, open the trunk. There is a switch located in the trunk if the driver's switch fails. The switch is located in the far reaches of the trunk next to where the top and the trunk meet.
probably a bad sensor, just take it to the dealer to have it checked
Use a big enough hammer.

How do you put the top down on a Mercedes slk230? there should be a button on the middle console that operate the convertible, that's how i let my convertible down on my 1999 slk kompressor
make sure the luggage guard is locked in place in the trunk
The Mercedes Benz CLK GTR which has atop speed of 199 mph is not faster than the SLS Black Series because the SLS Black Series has the same top speed..
Repairs and replacement of the top are normally done with the frame on the car.
We Have 2 CLK's the CLK 220 CDI Coupe AMG sports & the CLK 230 avantgarde Kompressor convertible. Both drive well and are comfortable. Both have been reliable and easy to drive. The coupe returns an average of 40mpg and the 230 around 30mpg. Tyres are expensive as low profiles. Fog lamps get damaged easily and are expensive to repair. My wife's 230 has had the wing mirror hit and again parts are expensive. We would both say we would not drive anything else as we love these cars. Let me add, I am the owner of a 2001 CLK 320 convertible and I love my car. The rule is "If it isn't raining, the top is down." I really enjoy the CLK. Of course a 2001 model doesn't come with Bluetooth or some of the other more modern audio accessories, but it comes with a great radio and speaker system, fully automatic windows (including using your key) and leather interior. So, it's 11 years old, they wouldn't give me a loan on it because it is too old and they are too hung-up, but it is mine now and I love it.
