Hey Rail, I miss your humor. You have been away too long defending our freedoms.

Will the warranty cover the repair??

so wait, you unlatched it, but the hook didnt clear the place where it latches into, is that correct?

Gents, that is correct. The latch didn't clear the latching thing. I thought it should be disabled, but nope. That sucker tried to open and wham. Bmus, yes I think the warranty is going to cover it. I did not tell them it was my fault. Thanks for compliment...out of curiosity I added up the time I have been deployed...over the last 4 years I have been gone 2.5 years. This is getting really old.

Rail,

Glad to see you home safe and sound once again !

Excuse my ignorance but I'm still confused

Did the latch catch when you were opening the top and the resistance caused the wires to snap ?

Nick

Hey, Rail! glad you're back home safe

It is true indeed about the Audi..when the dealer have the Boxster for a week and half (long story and warranty work), they gave me a loaner. It's an S3 2.0T w/ 12 miles on it and that thing could fly, that's why I got rid of my Matrix the following day I returned the S3..got me a C230K instead...I was actually looking at used S4 but all I find is high mileage
