As far as I know the motor will continue to run until you take your finger of the button. Microswitches turn off the intransit light once the full up or down position is reached. This includes clamshell motion. I am strictly going by what I have observed.
You have to watch the light to know when you are done and can release
The button

If a correctly working top turns off the motor once it's completed the opening cycle, what switch triggers the shut off of the motor?
If the light in the dash for the top is constantly on, and hasn't been reset yet, will that keep the switches from operating correctly?
This is on a 1997 Boxster base. When I bought it the previous owner had replaced the entire top and frame, but never reconnected the linkages. The dash light for the top is constantly on. I re-synced the transmissions and connected the linkages, so the top goes up and down fine. The problem is that when opening I can keep pressing the open button and the motor will keep turning.
He also gave me a complete set of spare parts including the motor/switch device, transmissions, cables, linkages, and brackets.
