A4 Quattro Cabriolet V6-3.2L (BKH) (2007)
These tears can also be perceived to be punctures.
Tension bow falling backward
During manual operation, the tension bow is not raised to a full vertical position and therefore is susceptible to falling backward. If the storage bay cover
is not fully locked closed and the tension bow falls backward, a collision occurs and the storage bay cover is damaged.
Front latches not retracted
When manually opening the convertible top, the header frame is unlocked and released from the windshield. If the front latches are not returned to the
locked position (retracted), and the convertible top is fully opened and stowed, and the storage bay cover closed and locked, the extended front lock latch
hooks will damage the storage bay cover (Figure 4).
Production Solution
No change. These are normal results when a convertible top is improperly handled.
Service
Strictly adhere to the instructions for manual operation of the convertible top found in the owner's manual and ElsaWeb.
