errr, those aren't sensors, they are little plastic thingys you slide to adjust how the clamshell sits. the sensor for the top closed light is behind the plunger that the latch activates when you close the latch in the centre front of the windscreen.

Try sticking your finger in and pushing it (the whole where the latch goes) a bunch of times, see if it's just gummed up, and if you can get the light to go out when poking it in. If so, you can add a bit of felt or something to the latch to push it in a bit further when closed. If that doesn't work, you can replace the microswitch switch that it activates, part number 986 613 795 02 , should be about $60.
