Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I figured out how to unlock the cab and move the lids in the rear but I just can't figure out how to pull the cab back. It's very stiff! I need to do this to get better access to the rear quarter windows for replacing the seals towards the door side windows.

POST 2Original post

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Brad :-) The darn rear quarter windows have a slight tendency to disapear when I do that though ...

POST 4Original post

Have you tried pushing the switch above the rear view (where the hook hits) to open the windows after a partial opening of the top. I can lift my windows with the top down by tricking it (pushing that switch). Not sure if it will realize the top is only partially opened or not. Try it. RB

POST 5Original post

This process is described quite well in the manual...at least in my manual. I have had to do it twice.

POST 6Original post

run the top down then hold the switch in the winsheild and run the back windows up

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Brad, that worked just fine! I just ran the top down and then ran the rear windows up while pushing the switch in the lock.

POST 8Original post

I can't get my top to come down... wait, never mind... I have a Coupe!
