Audi A5 8F Cabriolet How Manually To Close Convertible Roof

[@austinharvey1194]

Great video I was able to do it through the liner, but your instructions helped alot

[@scoobydoostu3130]

Great Instructional video and very well put together, just hope I never have to do it in "anger" but reassuring to have seen it done in the flesh as I wasn't too sure from the manual instructions.

[@hcic9860]

Jesus Christ Audi!!! U guys really couldn't have designed this damn thing better then this!?!? Man if Audi's didn't look so good, they'd be out of business I mean that

[@richardjanik8019]

Amazing vid! Helped me last night a lot. Just to let you know I managed to do it without ripping the headliner off. Thanks a lot. Hopefully that was just one off thing that happened;)

[@Jiester_78]

I've followed your steps.. all looks good but I'm still getting the yellow light flashing and it says soft top not secure. Is this a memory thing do you know and if so is there a way to reset the warning? Allowing the roof to cycle? Great vid by the way. Thanks.

[@CabrioletTech]

James Macduff Hi, the only way to lock down the rear lid is hydraulically. I am assuming the reason why you had to close the roof manually was because there is something wrong, the primary issue needs to be resolved. Unfortunately it is not a case of a “manual reset” on the A5 to get it working If you’d like more information, please contact us via the website Regards Team VagPro

[@oleandt77]

Before you remove the roof liner try this. I was able to squeeze the upper tensioning bows on each side without taking the roof liner off. With the wife pushing down onto the roof deck from outside the car. Does anyone know how to reset the yellow levers and cams in the trunk / boot? Thanks for posting.

[@oleandt77]

Saw @CabrioletDr post that they reset automatically when the issue is resolved and hydraulics restored. Thanks

[@poliniceskubli9465]

I wanna know how i can open manually

[@NICKDOLLAZ]

Hey I have a different problem with my roof, there is a flashing convertible sign reading softtop cannot be used. Even when I pull the switch for it to come down it will flash the sign . I manually pulled it back and forward with this video but it still didnt work. Also I even bought a new battery still no change. Audi A5 2010 quattro cabriolet.

[@CabrioletTech]

Hello This is because there is a fault on the roof and it needs addressing Opening and closing the roof manually does not normally fixes If it was a battery you would also see a message saying low battery

[@NICKDOLLAZ]

So what do i do to fix this problem?

[@CabrioletTech]

@@NICKDOLLAZ Hello, The roof may not close for a number of reasons, the purpose of this video is to show you how to close it You will need to book the vehicle in in order to get it diagnosed and repaired

[@HLJD123]

How do you get the roof liner back on? The video is great and has helped but you stop the video at the end saying it needs to be done when fixed. I need to get it back on myself at this stage - how do you do this please?

[@steveromeocars]

Nice vid mate. Is it the same procedure when the roof is closed? Because my vcds shows a fault with the convertible switch and can t open the roof. The roof lamp in the instrument cluster is also blinking.

[@whatsgoodhollywood]

I have the same issue!

[@NickV2k9]

Did you ever resolve this? What was the issue

[@arronmcphee-zz5ob]

Also looking for fix i need to open mine not close it

[@davebaum7018]

Hi, thanks for your helpful videos. I have a 2014 A5 convertible(only 20k miles on it) that the top has suddenly stopped working when the top gets to vertical closing position. There are no fault codes(using Autel 980pro which has top operated and not activated switch info. Hydraulic fluid is proper. The second issue is I've tried manually closing but the lever in the center trunk won't disengage. With the top opened enough to see the mechanism, I'm still not able to move lever. Your input is greatly appreciated.

[@CabrioletTech]

Hi Where are you based ?

[@ZDM289]

Thanks for making this video! It is clear and easy to understand. Hope I can remember the steps and not panic in the rain if it failed to close.

[@emanuele772]

hello, I did the manual closing procedure, now it no longer goes electrically, can you help me? thank you

[@masculinedeep7623]

someone have answer for this question?

[@nickztech9947]

very helpful very good video. I rarely comment but this desrves it

[@김광한-t7e]

I can't see it 1:10. Do I have to do something before doing that?

[@HeWoreSkeletons]

I did find it useful, I'm no longer considering buying one.

[@hcic9860]

So there's no way to do this without having to take of the liner? So apparently the manual use of the convertible top is just for emergency use to open or close but not to be able to use it recreationally because then liner will be off 🥺

[@CabrioletTech]

Hello, There is a way to do it without removing the liner, you can squeeze your hand in behind the liner and lock and unlock the tensioner without the key. Once you remove the lino it is possible to understand how to do this, you can then refit the liner and just do it blind

[@hcic9860]

[@oleandt77]

Does anyone know how the liner reinserts into the rear rubber? Took mine out to clean the rubber and can't get it to affix back in position

How can I bring my car for fixing to you?

[@MikeyTaylorGaming]

In the LHS of these vehicles there's something convered in a foam like material. What's inside the foam? I need to remove or move this component to get to my MMI radio module as I believe it has become water damaged... How difficult is it to remove without taking out the boot cards? Any help appreciated!

[@funsunmotors3665]

Was able to get top up, but now top motor does not function? How do you reset the top mechanism? How do you put the trim back? What is the CAUSE of this problem?!

[@CabrioletTech]

Good questions, if only I knew why every cabriolet roof failed without even seeing the car, let alone using diagnostic equipment You get a cabriolet specialist to diagnose the fault, said fault must then be repaired Set it in a position it recognises and it continues to work the cycle Then you, refit the fabric whilst it's mid cycle and close with button

[@thewatcher486]

Thank you, sir. Damn top got 15 percent going down and stopped. If not for this video, I would never have been able to figure out how to get it back up correctly. Not secured anyway. Take this thing in to get it serviced sometime th8lis week. Again, thank you.

[@therealistk3857]

How do you reverse releasing the hydraulic with the yellow levers?

[@CabrioletTech]

You operate the roof electronically off the butto

[@Richee555]

Wonderful video can you please tell me how to lock the yellow guard thing in the boot that you released pls

[@CabrioletTech]

Hi It locks automatically once the roof is fixed and hydraulic pressure is applied to close the rear deck lid Regards Team VagPro

[@Richee555]

@@CabrioletTech mine is not locking the yellow guard on 1 side is there a manual way of locking it into place

[@CabrioletTech]

Brilliant. Just done it and worked like a dream

[@mjo3789]

Great video.

[@Niccolo661]

Thanks! Do the holes (plastic covers on the sides) for the pilars open while bringung forward the roof?

[@davebaum7018]

Follow up on sunroof stopping at the horizontal position when closing. I found the rear window was drooping to low and jamming against the front opening. I now need to figure out why this is happening

[@442caleb]

Did you ever figure this out, same issue here
