Workshop procedure for VW — the exact step sequence and torque figures, straight from real workshop data.

15 steps

🧭 Before you start

Fits: platform code 1F7

Don't miss

  • Now insert bolts (2) for main hinge (1), but do not tighten.
  • Oil level in reservoir must be between "“min”" and "“max”" marks. Do not fill to "“max”" mark.
  • Fault memory must be read using vehicle diagnostic, testing and information systemVAS 5051B to check the electrical components, and must then be erased if necessary.
  • After installing roof, perform basic settings .

📋 Procedure

  1. Lower roof (arrow a) into vehicle until roof can be guided, together with roof side member, into latch bearing on windscreen frame (arrow b).
  2. Only now lower rear of roof (arrow c) until main hinges can be guided into mounting pins.
  3. Now insert bolts (2) for main hinge (1), but do not tighten.
  4. Guide the gauge for main bearingVAS 6371 with the stops (1) between the mounting pins (2)(arrow a).
  5. Lower the gauge for main bearingVAS 6371 onto the main hinge (4) and turn pins (3) of gauge until they slip into the mounting holes (arrow b). [Note: Oil level in reservoir must be between "“min”" and "“max”" marks. Do not fill to "“max”" mark.]

  1. Now tighten bolts (2) for main hinge (1).
  2. Reconnect hydraulic lines.
  3. After reconnecting hydraulic lines, top-up with oil so that the oil level is between the "“min”" and "“max”" markings.
  4. Reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  5. Connect water drain hoses.
  6. Fault memory must be read using vehicle diagnostic, testing and information systemVAS 5051B to check the electrical components, and must then be erased if necessary.
  7. Open and close roof once complete, using convertible roof actuation button.
  8. After installing roof, perform basic settings .
  9. Perform a functional check of roof and side windows after completing basic settings. Adjust side windows if necessary.
  10. Check oil level. Top-up with oil so that the oil level is between the "“min”" and "“max”" markings.

Who makes these pages, and how

TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.

The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.

Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
