That's great. Seems to be a somewhat common issue and a go-to possible solution, almost every time. Hope you subscribe for future tech tip videos. Thanks for watching and commenting. - Sponge

Also, if you get a message that there is an ‘object in the rear’, the top won’t open. Just means the sensors on the bumper are detecting that there may not be enough room for the trunk deck to swing out far enough. Just pull forward… or back out of the garage to correct the issue.

I hope You live a long and happy life, made my day better, i wanted to sell it cause the top wasn't working:))

Thank you! Huge help!!!

Good info for my Eos ..... thanks.

My 2009 lux version still under 100k miles works perfect but thanks for the vid it will help others!!

So glad you escaped this common problem. As you can see, many others are dealing with it. Please, subscribe to my channel, just in case you ever need to reference back. Or maybe, you can come back and visit, read the comments, and enjoy the fact that you didn't have to deal with it. 🤫😄. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. - Sponge

I have a 2007 EOS so, of course, I found this interesting even though my top is working. My switches, though, are quite different and mounted more vertically but maybe a different option package is the reason. A couple years ago the top did malfunction which I think was caused by me when I was trying to clear out the rear moon roof drains, putting the top partially up and down multiple times. It appeared to simply get confused! What I did so solve it was to locate the release on the trunk support rails and manually close the lid and when doing so the lid powered down which it hadn't done for a while. Once that was working, the top worked too. Still haven't found the leak, though, which recently during heavy rains filled the spare tire well and put standing water on the driver side front and rear!

Haha nice bro I have the 2009 lux version with still under 100k miles in it lol, thanks for the info!!

Thanks man I will give that a try

Perfect solution

Amazing... Worked just fine... Crazy thing though. Somehow the polarity got reversed in a rear window so down is up on one so the windows are going in two directions.

That's an odd one. I've never encountered that. You might want to do a reprogram on the system. I don't believe I have a tech tip on that process unfortunately. I hope my video at least helped repair the convertible top operation. - Sponge

Merci beaucoup ! 😁

Lucky you 😂Easy fix.

Thanks for sharing this video! I'm in the PNW and came across your video while trying to help a friend with a similar issue with her EOS. Do you have an email and/or contact detail for your shop in case she might need to make an appt?

Hi Tammi. At this time, I do not have my own shop or business license to do independent work. I am, however, contracted to work through 405 Motors in Woodinville WA. They have a service department that your friend can go through for repairs. Thanks for watching.

My eos have problem with soft close on trunk And top wont work ?

My VW Eos will show a symbol in the dashboard when i forget to put down that cover. if this really was the issue, you might wanna check the error message

My 2006 Has a "w" shaped metal part that clips to the bottom of the luggage cover leg, that makes up the distance. It will occasionally fall off & I have to go looking for it

Same on the 2007, that's the first thing I check is in having issues

Did your dashboard display an error with the cargo cover? Normally it does.

Hi. Unfortunately, due to the amount of time that passed between, recording the video, posting the video, and now, responding, I have to admit, I do not remember. However, I do not think it did. There was no mention of the warning light on the dash, and I would have noticed it right away. Thanks for the question , and thanks for watching. - Sponge

hi, do you have any other ideas? I have exactly the same problem, but the solution from the video did not help.

luggage cover switch

A round headed screw would temporarily fix the problem and be removed when new part is obtained.

This is true. May I just add, if someone does this, be sure to make sure cargo area cover is still in down position to prevent any damage. Thanks for watching. - Sponge

@@nazardosmukhambetov4685 have you tried shorting out the switch. If works this proves the switch is not functional in-some form. If testing switch and it apparently works then possible problem with wiring. Has the wiring been injured, separated? Fault finding is not always easy but if you go to a circuit and intervene to test at half way you can determine which half the problem is in. Repeat until found. Yes I know it sounds trite but we all learned on simpler circuits than today. As a point of principal it does work but you might have to shuffle distances.
