A 1993 MB SL has 2 tops.

1: The canvas top stays in the boot.

2: The hard top can be removed from the car. There is a big button on the center console, to the rear of the shifter. Accessing this button will unlock the hard top, allowing you to hoist the top off of the car. You will need either an optional hoisting device, with a block and tackle to lift the top off the car, or two, reasonably strong men to lift the top straight up, then walk it to the rear of the car. Its not that heavy of a top, its bulky. Make sure the antenna mast is all the way down, otherwise you'll snag or break the mast. You might also want to put a towel or mat down on the trunk lid to prevent any damage which can occur when you move this bulky top

After you remove the hard top, use the same big button on the center console to activate the top, either up or down. This is a fully automated set up, and should take less than 20 seconds from start to finish to take up or down.

You might want to take some WD40 to the top's hinges just to make things run smoother. The mechanics and soft top are very expensive items which need TLC and maintenance if you want them to last and work properly. Avoid using harsh detergents on the canvas top. Those chemicals in harsh soap will make the canvas brittle and subject to tears.
