Tension And Guide Cables, Sewing Together

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Audi S4, 2022 Audi A4 Quattro, 2021 Audi S4, and 2021 Audi A4 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If a tension and guide cable was cut perform a repair by sewing. The position of the connection is to always be selected so that the overlapping tension and guide cable can move freely, in other words that it dose not contact other components of the convertible top. In principle this is the case on the ends of the tension and guide cable.
