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.

Hi I've just bought a 1999 Carrera 2 soft top, love the car. But today I've had a problem with the soft top hood cycle. I lowered the hood but it did not complete the cycle and raise the side windows? what I have noticed is the hood lowers and raises but when it is almost complete the red dashboard light dims and the battery voltage dips as if there is something trying to work but pulling a lot of volts/current.
Has anyone else had this issue? I have raised the hood, it has locked into position and I've had to raise the windows on the std buttons, but the dashboard light is still illuminated as if it hasn't been able to complete the cycle?
Thanks in advance Jamie
I think i would start by seeing if anything is jamming the rear lid or the mechanism each side..i have actually found a screwdriver doing just this in the past.
The carpet there is 4 plastic bungs then you pretty much pull it out.
You can see the drive mechanism each side with the carpet removed.
You can also see where it should be greased !
Service position .. open the roof one third , unplug the cables each side and lift the rear screen section up.
So .. is the rear lid fully shuting , are the side flaps raiseing as this will also stop it.
EDIT ..
If the roof is not fully closeing then its a sensor/front lock out of sync and you need a tester on it to see which one.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
