How To: Mercedes 560 SL convertible top down 

To close the soft top: 1st close the 2 in front and THAN close the one in the back (!)

Tyler, Finally some one showing with great detail the way to do this the right way, Thank you!!!

I ran across your video and I really miss my ‘87 SL…. Thanks for posting up

OMG thanks dude, i was looking for a straight forward answer how to operate these tops,All the videos ive watched were paused and magically appeared top up or down, witch got me wondering how freaking hard is it? I love these older beauties and now I know thanks dude... It's complicated if you don't know how,but I bet the owners didn't complain to much, jst a unique approach to drive a German classic! Good Video Man

Thanks, Tyler. I just bought a 1986 560 SL the same color as yours.

When closing, if you fasten back, then secure front (windshield) cam latches (with tool) before large handle, it’s easier to secure front latches and close.

Thanks dude! It worked!

Thank you needed this video today

thanks mate - super helpful!

Thanks buddy, nice vid.

Much appreciated for the very well illustrated video cool...... 😎

Thanks for the video 🎉

Always 1st open the back (!) than the 2 in front...

Thank you so much

My dad gave me his 1987 Benz 560sl but it doesn't have seats like yours in the back. I. wonder if I can special order them and have them installed. It's such a beautiful car and holds many childhood memories. Thanks for sharing this video.. happy driving.

How about if you are using the hardtop, is it the same as if you were us8ngcthexs9ft top.

BTW nice tats too!
