Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The clamshell on my 2004 c4s will not unlatch on the passenger side. the switch sets everything in motion but does not unlock the passenger latch. the drivers side unlatches just fine. I even tried to do it manually with the tool behind the seat. same thing, only drivers side opens and the passenger latch will not. any ideas how to open this clamshell? I replaced the hydraulic cylinders and topped off the resivour. top worked just fine before this problem. went up and down several times. once i put in the carpet lining back in and dropped the top, the clamshell would not open anymore on the right side. please help
