Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! When your 1998 Mercedes SLK230’s rear corner windows refuse to budge and the convertible switch lid stays up with a beeping reminder, it's usually your car's way of saying, “Something’s not latched or isn’t happy back here.” The beep is a safety warning often because the convertible top isn't fully locked or a microswitch is out of sync. That can lock out the rear windows to prevent damage. I recommend having the top mechanism and switch sensors checked for alignment or electrical faults, before your car develops a real attitude.
