I just got a 1998 Audi Cabrio and have a question about putting the top down.  The car did not come with an owner’s manual.  I unlatched the top right above the rear view mirror.  I pushed the botton on the center console and the mechanism started to move.  Rear windows went down, boot storage cover came up, top started to go back then stopped half way.  It appears this is all it is going to do.  Am I supposed to put it down manually from there or is there something wrong?  Pushed button the other way and everything went back into place. Also, the rear window is sun baked.  Has anyone had this problem and if so, how did you repair it?  What should I expect to pay for that? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. DevdogAZ

Recently took possession of a ‘94 Cabriolet; has the manual, but both are now away for the winter (110km from here, sadly). The top-folding/stowing mechanism should be completely automatic, once the roof is "unlocked as you said, *and* the parking/emergency brake is on (sensor here).  I’m afraid I can’t help with further diagnosis, as I’m so new to the model myself. Have heard (horror-) stories of exorbitant costs for the plastic rear-view; none of which I can vouch for personally.  I cannot conceive that a canvas converter or other after-market shop (eg- boat supplier) cannot replace this without using exponential notation in the price.
