| When i purchased my pre-owned 03 audi a4 cabrio in may 2010 failed to notice that the bottom left and right corners of the rear window was separating from the fabric at the top. fast forward to may 2011 its now spread enough that you could reach a whole hand into the headliner. when it rains part of the back seat,rear deck and areas of the trunk get very wet was separating from the fabric at the bottom left and right corners of the rear window, enough that you could reach a whole hand into the headliner. when it rains the headliner around the rear glass, part of the back seat,rear deck and areas of the trunk get very wet. with the smell after it dries, im sure i have mold and mildew issues as well. | |||

| The rear glass window of the convertible top of my 2003 audi a 4 has come loose. we paid a car upholsterer to glue it back it in but it is loose again. it would be very dangerous if it fell out while traveling. | |||

| 2003 audi a4 cabriolet, the car is practially new, only driven in summer months. the rear window has separated from the roof, apparently the window is only sealed to the roof with a layer of glue. the window can fall out at anytime as a result of the glue loosening. the only alternative is a completely new roof. | |||

| I bought a 2003 audi a4 convertible in november 2008 and since then the defective convertible top has resulted in the rear glass window to be nearly completely loose. this is a major hazard and represents a danger since the window could fall out and hurt other people. audi of santa monica said they can't/won't fix it and referred me to an upholstery shop who said they have seen this problem before and can't fix it (despite audi recommending them for fixing this). a detailed check of numerous online discussion boards (in the u.s. and germany) shows that this is an extremely coming problem for 2003 audi convertibles that audi simply refuses to acknowledge. 2003 was the first year that karmann manufacture the roof and, interestingly, harmann in germany seems to accept some responsibility and has fixed this problem for some people, charging only for labor. i strongly recommend that nhtsa look into this faulty manufacturing issue and force audi to accept responsibility for it. *tr | |||
