2004 1.8T Soft top won't open any ideas! - halfpint
Hi folks, On trying my soft top it would not open fully, it got stuck 1/4
to 1/2 way, and wouldn't then close by the switch, had to use the release key to close, it's never happened before, but has not been used for a few months due to our rubbish weather. any ideas, does it need some lubrication somewhere, don't fancy an Audi garage ripping me off.

This is not uncommon. I have been to a few of these, but one in particular I remember a couple of years ago that was stuck. I plugged the computer into it and a fault code was present. I cleared it and then it worked perfectly, and as far as I know it has done ever since.

I think you will need someone with a diagnostic tester.....

Thanks for that, looks like a visit to the garage, to many electronic glitches for my liking!
