My 2004 Audi a4 convertible top closes almost all the way but won't latch

I know how to manually close it with the tool in the fuse box, but I am wondering if there could be a simple fix. The top comes all the way out, and the trunk storage lid closes, it does everything except latch on top of the windshield. It will go back down into the trunk with no problem. Can I reset something?

Just close BOTH the front and back MANUALLY and make sure its in the locked position. (follow the owners manual on how to close it manually). The warning light will go off and the switch will become operational again.
Cheers!

SOURCE: convertible top will not close /open

I have had this problem with my 2005 S4 Cab - sometimes the top will not latch. I have found that this was because the fabric near the rear passenger window was not folding into place over the steel structure. I just back up the top and made sure the fabric unfolded and all was well.

SOURCE: I need to get to the trunk lock mechanism but

The liner is held on by little plastic studs. It can be gently pried off Then you will have access to the lock. The lock should have a nut on it that holds it to the trunk. Turn nut counter-clockwise to remove.

SOURCE: Rear trunk door on '03 Audi A4 Avant does not properly secure.

the struts would have no effect on the catch at all. chances are the floor catch has moved inwards a little, re adjust to fit correctly/watertight.

SOURCE: Convertible top has to be put down/up manually.

Just took my 2004 A4 convertible (25,000 miles) to the dealer...needed new module...cost $375 for part and $300 for labor. Maybe this should be a recall item.

My soft top roof will not close, just changed the battery and opened thew roof now it will not close

You need to have the dealer reset the programming. NEVER change a battery in this model car without a backup power source connected to avoid these types of problems in VW's

My a4 audi convertables roof has jammed what do i do wont close back

Can you first look in the owners manual , there is a procedure for simple solutions .

If there is a problem with the shelf in the trunk the roof will not function properly.

open the trunk and pull the lever , does the shelf move up and down or is it jammed .

If it does not work the shelf needs replacement .

Ascan tool may be needed to read ant logged faults .

I can't get my convertible top to go up or down, it is stuck half way. Is there a manual release for it?

The convertible top motor and release lever are in the luggage compartment.
From the Bentley manual, the following general procedure is suggested in order to close the top in an emergency situation.
Main motor. To release the top linkage from the motor, lift the left corner of the rear seat to access emergency release handle.
It is then possible to push the top manually to a near closed position. In case of the semi-automatic top, simply attach and lock the front latches.
Front latches. Once the fully automatic convertible top has been released from the motor and manually pushed to near-closure, emergency latching of the top is possible by using the S-shaped hex key provided in the emergency tool kit(attached to the trunk lid underside).
First, remove the the plastic cover over the latch motor in the front bow of the convertible top.
Next, use the hex key from the tool box to crank the front latches shut.
