Help Ragtop Malfunction

Okay so I had my '99 C4 Carrera Cab and installed my new Smart Top(ST). Easy installation However the ST stop working halfway up so in order that I open the top I had to manually open the top using the emergency handle. Well the handle did the job and I was able to adjust the ST, however it malfunctioned again going down and I had to close the top manually and now the top wont open and the dash light roof top indicator stays on. The book says take it to the dealer/stealer. Anybody have any good suggestions.

You should post in renntech or rennlist with specifically what you did to modify anything and you'll likely get a quicker response.

Thanx for the help. I have requested that the company accepts the unit back as defective and provides a replacement

Some possibilities...first make sure the ST unit is connected completely (and make sure you use the velcro strap to secure it)...second, check the fuse, third, make sure the engine compartment is closed, lastly, it could be a defective unit
