Roof Locked?

[godzilla101]

Hiya Everybody!

Has anyone got advice about overideing the roof lock on an Audi cabriolet 1994 plate.

Even though it is in park and the handbrake on,it won't release the Roof?

Hi
Sounds like you've got the same problem as me. However, to overide the power roof, the engine/ignition must be switched off. Then:
- Release the roof and manually push it back, whilst at the same time lifting the rear window.
- When the roof is in the vertical position lift the little flaps by the seat belt pillars and you'll see a little lever which you lift both sides...this opens the deck hatch
- Lift the deck hatch and fold the roof back into the deck
- Close the hatch making sure that the clips go back into place and lock the little levers down again (if you don't do this you won't be able to open the boot as there's a microswitch in there that overides the central locking in the boot to prevent you opening it without the deck being closed)

In case you didn't know, the hydraulic controls for the roof are in the boot, on the right as you look in under the carpet behind the rear wheel arch.

If you find out how to fix the roof problem, let me know please.
