1998 audi cabriolet electric hood sticking

[jazz21]

Had recent problems with electric hood sticking when attempting to close it.
has anybody got any info how the hood operates ? is there any workshop mauals available specific to the hood ? has anybody had similar problems ?
a lot of these cabriolet are advertised with electric hoods not working, is this a common problem ? please

thanks Jim

In what way is it sticking? Is it the roof or storage compartment lid?

check the wiring loom on the drivers side boot for broken wires.The loom runs along side the boot lid hinge and over time the wires snap from the boot being opened and closed.

Hi there, the hood is sticking half way up when closing, therefore got to close manually. The red sunroof light on dash has been flashing for a wee while and also the hood button has had to pressed , released and pressed again to close the hood recently prior to it sticking. Hope this helps your diagnosis. kind regards jim...
