996 Top Latch too early

Guig'z · 2025-07-21T01:41:05+0000

Hey, despite all of my research, I can’t find a conclusive answer. I have a 2003 C4, my top keeps trying to latch way to early (about 9” away from the windshield). Started about a week ago (Had the car almost 2 years without problem). Opens up fine, and I can close it with the latch finally latching at the right place after 4-5 cycle of latching/unlatching/moving closer. I have no codes using Piwis, did a calibration in april with success, now calibration goes all the way and works fine but ends with error code: 11060: Communication with control unit failed. Also at the beginning of the calibration, it says: Function active, end position not reached Driver side potentiometer is new as of april ( p/o had stripped the bolts and it was loose and ate up the plastic of the old one). Tried another latch assembly and top control module with no success. Got ideas? I’m new with Piwis, and can’t find why I can’t succeed the calibration. Thanks!
