Customer Complaint

The convertible operation not working. The boot would not open remotely either.

Problem Summary

Preliminary inspection showed the boot harness had failed due to broken wires at the main hinging points.{{pic1}}

That is a very common issue with a lot of the European model electric convertibles/Cabrios due to high angle of flex in the pivot point of the harness.
