    Hi,

    Just recently bought a 2003 model A4 convertible with known roof problems . When the car starts the roof light flashes on the dash for about 5 secs then goes off.

    The roof was working so the owner says, but recently would not fully go down, only goes to 3/4 open and then manually has to be pushed flat one person at each side to ensure it goes down level. And then the roof cover pushed down and then locked down. The roof lid flips open fine the roof goes to almost open and stops.

    When trying to close the roof the roof lid has to be held open and the roof lifted so far then i switch the ignition on and the roof close by using the button.

    What I did notice is thet the owner manually unlocked the roof from the front on opening and again on closing surely this all should be automatic.

    Do I try the reset procedure? Or do I have other problems ?

    It works, not too sure if I have fixed it or whether the previous owner just didn't know how to operate the roof properly.

    As at the start of my thread I stated that the owner was using the key to release the roof which seemed rather odd, i did not and it works spot on.

    Lubrication & don't release the button unless you have to when operating it will help
