REMOVING Remove     
IMPORTANT Always install/remove roof kinematics (1) completely on one side    
1 Remove paneling from front Vario roof   AR68.30-P-4350G
2 Remove C-pillar paneling from Vario roof   AR68.30-P-4500G
3 Remove cover above B-pillar    
4 Remove paneling above roll bar crossmember    
5 Remove cover between trunk lid and roll bar   AR77.50-P-3010G 
6 Remove Bowden cable (2) from C-pillar lock, unhook retracting spring (3) and move slide valve upward (4).    
7 Unlock Vario roof with roof switch until trunk lid is open IMPORTANT Do not open Vario roof  
8 Open emergency operation valve (N) on hydraulic unit to stop with 6 mm Allen wrench NOTES Open emergency operation valve only with roof put down or closed and ignition switched off to avoid damaging the seal on the emergency operation valve (N) which would prevent pressure from building up in the system.  
9 Remove clip-type fastener (6), bolts (7)    
10 Remove circlip (8), bolt (9)    
11 Completely slide piston rod into main cylinder (10) by hand, remove main cylinder (10) from main bearing (11) toward front, lay down onto B-pillar and fasten to fender with adhesive tape.    
IMPORTANT When removing right roof kinematics, remove electrical lines and hydraulic lines from rear of Vario roof and limit switch (S69/11) on main bearing (11) together with retaining clamps.    
12 Completely unlock lock on front of Vario roof with 6 mm Allen wrench.    
13 Insert 80 x 80 x 290 mm wooden block (shopmade) into trunk (arrow) IMPORTANT Lay rag down on wooden block  
14 Open Vario roof by hand until rear Vario roof makes contact to wooden block.    
15 Mark position of roof kinematics (1) in relation to front and rear of Vario roof    
16 Mark position of main bearing (11) on B-pillar    
17 Install assembly support (12) in Vario roof SPECIAL TOOL AR77.50-P-3300-01G 
18 Install Bowden cable (23) in reinforcement frame on front of Vario roof    
19 Unscrew bolts (13) from front and rear of Vario roof IMPORTANT Remove any spacers (14) present if necessary  
20 Unscrew bolts (15) from inner main bearing (11)    
21 Slightly lift front of Vario roof and pivot roof kinematics (1) toward front    
22 Unscrew bolt (15) from main bearing (11) and remove roof kinematics (1)    
INSTALLING Install     
23 Align spacers on B-pillar, install roof kinematics (1) and align main bearing (11) according to marking    
24 Screw bolt (15) into outer main bearing (11) and tightly lightly    
25 Pivot roof kinematics (1) upward, screw in all bolts (13) and slide in spacers (14) NOTES Do not pinch ground cable, electrical lines and hydraulic lines.  
26 Align roof kinematics (1) according to markings and tighten one bolt (13) each at front and rear of Vario roof IMPORTANT Tighten second bolt (13) at rear of Vario roof at top  
27 Screw bolt (15) into main bearing (11) from inside and tighten   *BA77.33-P-1007-01A 
28 Remove assembly support (12), screw in bolt (16) and reinstall support (19)    
29 Completely unlock lock at front of Vario roof with 6 mm Allen wrench and lay Vario roof onto crossmember above windshield by hand    
30 Install main cylinder (10) in main bearing (11)    
31 Close emergency operation valve (N) on hydraulic unit and remove wooden block TORQUE SPECIFICATION *BA77.37-P-1001-01A 
32 Close Vario roof with roof switch IMPORTANT Release roof switch before closing rear side window  
33 Install Bowden cable (2) and hook in retracting spring (3) IMPORTANT When hooking in retracting spring (3) ensure that the grommet for the control cable (2) is located in the bracket (5).  
34 Loosen bolts (13) on front and rear of Vario roof and lightly tap onto Vario roof by hand a number of times in area of roof separation. IMPORTANT This eliminates and tension in roof motion system (1)  
35 Check gap between front and rear of Vario roof with feeler gage, correct rear of Vario roof is necessary SPECIAL TOOL
IMPORTANT Unlock front lock to correct
AR60.00-P-0700-01G
    Dimensions *BE60.00-P-1006-01A 
36 Tighten bolt (13) at front of Vario roof and second bolt (13) from top on rear of Vario roof TORQUE SPECIFICATION
IMPORTANT To tighten the remaining bolts (13) align assembly position with roof switch
*BA77.33-P-1008-01A 
37 Check adjustment of stop buffer on Vario roof   AR77.50-P-3050G 
38 Check contour of Vario roof SPECIAL TOOL
IMPORTANT Correct height offset at separation joint between front and rear of Vario roof with spacers
AR77.50-P-3040G 
39 Check adjustment of catch on C-pillar   AR77.50-P-3045G 
40 Install cover between trunk lid and roll bar   AR77.50-P-3010G 
41 Install paneling above roll bar crossmember    
42 Install cover above B-pillar    
43 Perform rain test    
44 Install paneling at front of Vario roof   AR68.30-P-4350G
45 Install C-pillar paneling on Vario roof   AR68.30-P-4500G
