CLK 320 Convertible

[Fearless Egbert]

Hi. I've had a 12 year old one of these for a year or so and love it to bits. It didn't come with a handbook which wasn't really a problem except for the blind which comes out from under the rear seats. Does anyone have any idea what its for and what it attaches to? It's taken me a year to admit defeat on this!! Any help appreciated just to put me out of my misery!!

Wind deflector?

That was my first thought, but what does it attach to? Its on a rollerblind kind of arrangement that comes out from under the rear seats, so its a bit flimsy for a wind deflector, and it doesn't seen to come our far enough to be effective at wind deflecting. But it is made of the same material as you see used in wind or sun deflectors. i wonder if it attaches to a frame of some kind that I don't have?

does it pull out in the boot area from under the rear seats?if it does its just a boot tidy thing to stop the retracted roof from getting caught up with a boot full of shopping bags iirc.

the wind deflector (separate item) attaches across the top of the rear seats near where the seat belts are ..

the blind from the base of the rear seats then attaches to the wind deflector

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you. I shall see if I can find one on ebay. Cheers.
