well temporary fix sew it up with waxed dental floss "wax helpsit notleek" then cover over it with a vinal repair kit 'about 5.00 on e bay" I just did this myselft till i can aford a new roof glad roofs are cheep.
open the petcock drain. remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator with water, the fresh water will push out the old coolant and flush the system. Catch the old coolant inn a container as it is poison to animals.
Depends on the year, if it is a newer truck than the theft system will have to be relearned. turn the key on and let it sit for 10 minutes. on some vehicles this works, otherwise you need to have it done at a gm dealer.
If your car hesitates when the brakes are applied, and or when you are driving it acts like it is giving itself gas, or accelarating on its own, The problem is your Throttle Position Sensor(TPS). It costs about $34.00 at autozone, and only takes about 10minutes to replace. sounds like you need a tune up. could possible be fuel filter or fuel pump. sounds like you need to replace fuel filter, air cleaner, and maybe a tune up
Here are a few links for how-to walk-throughs for replacing the top.

OIL level low, dirty oil filter.
You remove the little bolt under the seat in the middle and then you slide the seat forward and lift at the same time. It should come off unless it is rusted in place, the you spray rust remover all over. Ron
a volkswagen? . . . . . bout 10 minutes
Go in trunk; remove 4 screws from the pump cover (2 at either bottom corner, 2 at top close together) and remove that. There is a gold coloured nut sitting atop the now visible reservoir. Unscrew that. You can now top up the reservoir VERY slowly (use a small funnel otherwise the hydraulic oil will get everywhere) and reverse process when done. Only 5 minute job. THIS IS FOR A MK3 (93-98) I think its same for other models too, certainly MK4's.
There's a solinoid in the transmission.Suggest to check that first.
Turn on interior lights. Start engine. If the lights go out when the engine stalls, you have a bad ignition switch.
The horn is honking because the lower bearing in your steering column and the contacts are touching when you turn the wheel. It will need to be taken apart but unfortunatly thet bearing and race is no longer available from VW. Get a good mechanic and he will find somthing that will work.
Good luck
I've had the same problem. mine was fixed with a couple different steps. 1. Take to ford dealership have them change out fuel pump for free under recall. 2. change the fuel filter myself. 3. change out PCV hose and PCV valve. 4. clean throttle body. 5. use electronic cleaner to clean out MAF sensor. 6. change air filter. This made a huge difference in my car and hopefully helps you
Open the door and release the screw that holds the handle. The screw is right above the locking mechanism. You should be looking at the side of the door that is covered by the door jamb when the door is closed.
If you just installed a stereo system or any other "electrical" device make sure no wires were cross and that all connections are as they should be. This could be tripping you fuse. Also, Check your fuzes and their connections also. Hope this helps.
1980-1993: Cabriolet, Mk1
1995-1999: Cabrio, Mk3
1999.5-2002: Cabrio, Mk3.5 or Mk4 (depends on which side of the pond you're on)
And now are all replaced by the Eos here in the states
