I've spent most of yesterday hunting down a new Controller/J256, which arrived this morning and..
Really fantastic to see the roof opening again! It was very squeeky though - any ideas on where and with what it's good to lubricate the roof? Just some WD40 on the hinges of the arms, or is that not a good idea? I have already bought some lithium grease for the latches on the Hood catch on top of the windscreen frame.
Anyway, I am sooo happy, this was the most frustrating repair job ever, and am delighted to finish just in time for an indian summer..
Tux, Lemmy, Grappa, Sirpomme, Sierrakiller and everyone here - thank you all so much for your truly amazing help!!! Needless to say I wouldn't have been able to do it without you guys. I love the idea that forums like these keep cars on the road and scrap yards empty.
My hints for anyone thinking of starting the same adventure:
-Breathe in
-Check your looms
-Check your hydraulic fluid
-Think Lemmy Was Right
-Dont give up
-Don't EVER leave your VAG reader plugged in while opening the hood..
DANKE SHÖN!!
IT WORKS!!!
