    Roof won't lower on my 93 audi cabriolet .

    here is what happens

    1) I undo "T" bar handle in roof.

    2) all 4 windows lower

    3) i push roof up by hand a couple of inches

    4) operate roof button to start lowering process and nothing happens

    All that happens is the "roof light" on instrument cluster flashes ,(no noise from hydraulics/pump -nothing- total silence)


    Could some one tell me what next to check (have checked fuses all ok)

    I have checked the looms in the boot lid , these are damaged due to the opening and closing of the boot.

    i have now replaced the looms,

    checked hydraulic level - level ok

    So I thought problem solved .....but unfortunately not





    Once again I release the roof by turning the "T" bar handle


    When I do this the windows go down,


    I slightly lift the roof up with my right hand , and with left hand I operate the roof lowering switch


    When I operate the switch , NOTHING happens at all , total silence roof light flashes in instrument cluster and that's it

    i believe what should happen next isthe roof stowage lid should lift up , but it doesnt






    ANY IDEAS what I need to check next?


    Many thanks
