Ok I went out to the car on lunch break. I was able to see the brass nut and a phillips screw holding on the trim piece. I was also able to see the microswitch. I could see neither of these things the way the sun was blasting my face yesterday evening. The only time I was able to see the switch yesterday was after I had the six bolts out of the top, top slid back and started lifting it out of the car. That's when I noticed the wires. I'll pop the cover off when I get home and see what I'm working with then. Thanks for your help so far guys.

I already changed the transmission on the passenger side because the cable was broke. I could have just changed the cable but I bought a used set of known working transmissions already and it was just as easy to change the whole thing. The drivers side seems to work, but I may just change that one out too after I get the top out.

One thing I'd like to point out is that most of the on-line how to's cover the newer transmissions with the 360 degree plastic gear. I was surprised when I opened up the transmission to see the metal 270 degree gear. Hopefully the timing instructions I have seen are the same for this year of car.
