Thats great! I just ordered one and will let you know how it works. I have been putting it off due to the cost of the belt from Audi I have found them from $150-$200
Thanks again, RB

I just ordered one myself, shipped it out in a few hours after the order, I will provide an update when I get to installing it. Don't worry, I promise to post a response. Give me 2 weeks at the most. Hopefully it will get here sooner.

Just got the belt in today, hopefully I will have a chance to put it on tomorrow. It looks a little thin in width, but will update when I go to install.

It works great! Perfect replacement, exact match. I don't know how long it will last, but I can't see it going out any time soon. Also, if you can't remember the last time you could use the window, be sure to find some grease of some kind to help lubricate the threaded lifters. I used some di-electric grease compound and it really helped out.

my belt broke again !! just ordered this belt as audipartsonline wants $180 !!

hope it is not too hard to install. I already had to remove the panel and manually help the window go down so we could close the top.

Belt installed it was pretty easy, maybe 20 minutes , although it was super hot yesterday and standing in the sun was very sweaty !!!

hints - drilling out the old rivets ( 2 on each side ) - put a rag or something in underneath so all the metal shavings don't fall down all around the top. then they blow around when you drive and its annoying....

Rivets are 3/16 x 1/4 - just an fyi when you buy them

To install the Belt you have to pull the riser screw out of its little socket , wrap the belt around , then work it back in place. the riser screw just slides out and has a slotted washer to go back in place correctly.

Rivet the back facing rivets in first then the side facing ones for easier alignment.
