I just had (still have) the same problem. It's no fun not being able to put the top up when it's raining.
I removed the plastic cover on the driver's side of the brake handle and was able to remove the switch- looks like some type of plastic fastener broke off. I also tried to remove the center console by following the Bentley manual instructions. It looked pretty simple- just remove the bottom of the oddments tray and then 3 screws. But the console just wouldn't budge. Feels like something at the top of the base of the brake handle is preventing the console from being removed.
The good news is that you can remove the switch from that small side panel and (unless your switch is completely destroyed) if you can get the black plunger to the up position the dash light should illuminate. I covered the dash ight with a small piece of black tape for now. The switch just hangs out by the seatbelt buckle.
I'll get a new switch this Saturday (hope it's not stupid-expensive) and give the center console removal another try. In the mean time, I don't have to worry about not getting the top up.
Anybody out there have any advice on the console removal.
Regards,
