Hi, i have the 2012 A3 convertible and on Friday i noticed the soft top symbol flashing to say there was a fault ,i tried to take the top down and i got the message soft top cannot operate. I then noticed that the rear right window was not going all the way down ,however after switching engine off and opening and closing the door it all was working again ... I then scanned the car with vcds and got the fault codes relating to the rear right module...This morning i got the same flashing symbol and issue with rear right window, however after trying the buttons a few times and opening and closing of the door it works, basically it seems a intermittent problem. I have read that the door hinge loom can cause issues ..The module and motor are smooth and quiet and i would have a look at that but at the moment can't work out how to get rear door card off,i have looked at some of the fittings on a used one on ebay and it looks like there is only 3 fasteners and what looks like two prongs that stick out and slide in to something, I don't see any bolt holes if anyone can help on the door card removal that would at least let me look at the module and see what colour wires are going to it ..Any help on any of the above would be appreciated .Thanks
