I drive a 99slk 230---yesterday after raising the roof, it started dripping "pretty good" what looks like machine oil---this morning the headliner is wrinkled and the interior smells oily---can anyone provide a cure who has had this experience?

 

Your roof ram (pump) has a bad seal or a broken line. The link below will guide you on how to remove the head liner. I don't think there is anybody around that rebuilds them so you may want to try and locate one from a junk yard or get one from the dealer.

theres a fellow who has a repair kit on ebay. 30$ and all the instructions. no idea how good it is but a cheap way to start repairs

 

I got the new front roof latch hydraulic installed and connected to the pump----then mistakenly hit the switch while the pressure valve was loose on the pump in the trunk---now the windows only work and the light in the console stays on constant---HELP!!!!
