The Cabrio motor is ALIVE!!!

Would you believe that it was down to one of the Contact Sensors shown in the wiring diagram I found had become disconnected, they sit in the trim that surrounds the hinged area at the top of the rear side door cards (you know where the rear side window is). Spotted it wasn't connected at the bottom of the trim by the rear seat base, bet someone had removed the trim and didn't notice the small wire connector there. Plugged it in and tried the switch and heard the motor straight away, result

Well now that the motors work the next thing on the list was to ditch the tatty old PVC hood with a Red Mohair one.

So booked today off but still went in to use a bay in the workshop, not to bad a job. Main problems was the rear window, took ages getting out and all the staples in the window frame, same story fitting it back in.

But here we go.....

Cheers, the slightly smoked GTi's wouldn't work with the white and any other aftermarket one's look sh!te
