We have a couple of options to carry 2 bikes on your 2003 Mercedes Benz CLK 430 Convertible.
First, even though there is not a trunk mounted rack for your convertible, you could purchase two of the suction cup type bike racks which will work on your convertible. You could use the SeaSucker Komodo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted - Aqua Blue # 298-BK1910-AB. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out also.
For a more cost effective option, you could get the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11815 and a bike rack like the Thule Camber # TH9058 to carry your two bikes. This is the solution that I recommend. Check out the video.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Hollywoo carriedd Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be more level and will provide more ground clearance.
