Greetings!

I just picked up a 2009 (B7) A4 convertible. Really nice, solid car. I'm very happy so far. It replaced a 2003 Jaguar XK8 convertible which, while sexy as heck and fun to drive, was doing the Jaguar "eat me out of house and home" thing so it had to go. I'm very happy thus far with the A4 as a replacement.

I'm a musician (bass player) and there are VERY few convertibles with the trunk space to fit a bass and some gear. The Jag was one. The A4 is another (the A5 trunk opening is too small...)

This is not my first Audi but is my first time on the forum. I had a 2010 A3 hatchback that was pretty much trouble-free (so no incentive to join the forums...)

I posted a question about the convertible mechanism in the trunk in the A4/B7 forum and hope to get some input.

Forgive the cat paw prints... she needs a bath.
Thanks!
