We prove a close cousin of a theorem of Weinberger about the homotopy invariance of certain relative eta-invariants by placing the problem in operator $K$-theory. The main idea is to use a homotopy equivalence $h:M \to M’$ to construct a loop of invertible operators whose “winding number" is related to eta-invariants. The Baum-Connes conjecture and a technique motivated by the Atiyah-Singer index theorem provides us with the invariance of this winding number under twistings by finite-dimensional unitary representations of $\pi _{1}(M)$.
