Top Won't Open

[Fintro11]

Ignition switch / your parking brake micro switch

Both problems are most likely un related, both are simple to do

Ignition switch you can use the vw/Audi part ( Google )
Micro switch is simple too there are some diy on here

Update.... After raising and lowing the brake lever a few times, the console light came back on... The convertible top subsequently started to work again!!!

Fintro11.... The ignition switch was replaced last year as it wasn't retracting back into potition after starting. Likely the parking micro switch. Thanks!!!

The top wouldn't close on one of mine. I was able to pull out the ash tray and trim surrounding it, then poke the switch at the base of the brake lever to get it working. Maybe next week, I'll pull out the whole center console and replace it. Having the top stuck open at the wrong time can be bad.
