Audi A3 Cabriolet  Setting off  Soft top (folding roof)

The windbreak is located in a storage bag* in the luggage compartment.
Fitting and setting up the windbreak

Fold the handle -2- upwards, and raise the windbreak slightly at the centre -3- Fig. 2.
Insert the windbreak into the retainers -4- on the passenger's side of the vehicle, and press the centre of the windbreak down gently -5- until the handle engages.
Fold the windbreak frame into the upright position.
Removing windbreak from vehicle
