My first post and of course it is a problem. I have a 2006 cabrio and purchased it used last August. It has been a awesome car and the top worked like it was supposed to til today. The weather in Denver for the next few days will be convertible weather and I wanted to put my top down. The Sunroof works fine, but when I push the button again the light on the adjacent button blinks red. Is this a simple issue or is it service time. The distance to the dealer will eat up a day of time so I thought I would put this to all of you.

gwall43, look in the boot for two locking handles on either side. The one on the left has a micro switch under it where the shelf sits on. If it is not seated properly you will get that problem. It drove us crazy the first couple of times it happened on our '05.

 

Here is a picture of what one of the handles looks like, courtesy of rkw's car. It is on the right side of this pic.

 

Chubby,

A belated thanks you saved me much brain damage and a 1/2 day off work and allowed me to get some rays on a 60 deg. day here in Colorado.


Thanks,

Gwall43

 

We really should sticky a thread in the cabrio forum titled "Why won't my top go down?"
