Verdeck Problem

[Mech©]

I also found a couple of white wires with transparent and red ending
disconnected in the left side of the trunk. I looked around to find the
connectors in which they were supposed to be in, but I saw nothing. Do you
know anything about them? Here is a picture of them:

Don't worry! These cables are normally used for the automatic antenna. If
you don't got one, it's O.K. to leave them unconnected.

Hi.
The antenna is automatic, but it only has a wire with a small transparent switch.

Anyway it is good to know that they are not part of the verdeck "team"

If I remember it right the unconnected ones on your pic are for the built-in
amplifier of the !original" automatic antenna.

3. I checked for the wires in the trunk (only visually, checking the black cable around the trunk), both right and left ones. I saw where they ended and check for the switches (right and left sides), no wire out of its place. I supposse that I will have to change both wires for new ones. I imagine that even if the black cover of the wires is not broken, they could be broken inside, no??? At first sight it seems to be impossible that the wires might be broken inside, but of course they can be.

Visual checking is absolutely not enough.

Please remember Bastel1977's hint from above:

At least you should check the cable with your hands, mainly at that point where the cable bends most. There you should feel the broken wires...
But even if you don't, I encourage you to repair the cables on both sides anyway!
Your cables are aged enough that it is almost certain they're broken, so don't hesitate
Remember also:

These steps solve about 97.452% of all roof-problems.

BUT: Don't go to your friendly Audi dealer, there you'll only get the same non-satisfying quality again. Even worse: You'll have to pay a whole bunch of Euros...

Instead, i would recommend you to order them here:

Firma FOBO OHG
They are of much higher quality and less expensive than the original cables and best of all: plug'n'play

If you need help to do so, just send me a PM...

That is the next I will do, to change the verdeck's wires in the trunk. Let's see if the problem can be solved very soon.

Thanks

So Leute,

damit hätten wir den ersten Spanier auf unserer UserMap

Herzlich Willkommen im Board, Avogadro (dies ist ein Deutschtest ), und ich hoffe, Du wirst uns demnächst berichten, dass Dein Verdeck wieder funktioniert

Anderenfalls hoffe ich für Dich (sowieso), dass Du eine Klimaanlage in Deinem Cabrio hast...

Höhö.... bei 5,2L/100Km/h würde ich auch "hier" schreien....

Aber da müssen wir Avogadro fragen, ob er eine Tour De España 2008 für uns plant...

Wenn unsere Hilfe erfolgreich sein sollte, dann müssen wir Herrn Forster möglicherweise noch 'ne Einladung schicken.... hehe

Gruss, Hlli

!Hola avogadro!
Bienvenido al nuestro foro de las coches mas guapas.
!Mi casa es Su casa, companero!

en aleman...

TDE! Goil! Jawoll, da wäre ich auch dabei!

Offensichtlich ist ja schon alles zum Thema Verdeck gesagt... daher kann ich leider nichts weiteres zum eigentlichen Thema beitragen...

Aber TDE... das lässt mich nicht los. Sangria statt Komodenlack... wäre wohl ne Alternative...(Komodenlack = Ich sach nur TWT 07...)
