first of all, I don't know what year car you have....
If you have a newer SL...less than 6 years old, you don't remove the top,,,its a hard top
only that stores in the boot,..you shouldn't have a canvas top..
If you have an earlier SL...there's a button, on the center console...push this button down and hold it for a few seconds...it will unlockl the hard top from the chassis. You will need 2 people to do this. One person on each side of the car. Lift up and walk the roof back, towards the rear of the car. After laying the top on the ground, you can go back to that center console button....Depress the button again...it will take over...and a canvas top will appear, and unfold itself into place.
You should also know that your local MB dealer has facilities to store your top (I would assume for a minimal charge) and will take the top off for you. Its a very common practice for SL owners to do. This is great especially if you don't have anywhere to store your top. or don't have a strong friend to help you.
Once again.....as I have always recommended...go to MB and get an owner's manual for your car. There's a lot to know about these cars...and there's probably some features on the car that you might not be aware of. It's something you really should have. These manuals are not that expensive, and they're worth whatever it costs.

What kind of fluid goes into the 2003 sl500 convertible top controller on the left of the spare tire and what level should it be at?
The 2003 SL500 convertible top controller uses hydraulic fluid, specifically Mercedes-Benz-approved hydraulic fluid or a compatible equivalent. The fluid level should be checked with the top in the closed position, and it should be at the "full" mark on the reservoir. Regular maintenance is important to ensure proper operation of the convertible top mechanism.
