Hi all! I recently purchased a 1999 Boxster that was in a project status. I now have the car running and am looking to put the car back together but have hit a roadblock. I noticed a microswitch laying in the foam well where the top would sit if it were attached to the car. The previous owner removed the top along with the entire convertible top frame. After doing my research on it i see it is the B pillar microswitch for the earlier cars. I am trying to figure out how to mount it (and after finding the part i noticed that mine is missing the metal arm that activates the switch and have since ordered a new one) but i am at odds with where it mounts up. i removed my b-pillar and do not see an obvious spot to mount it? I located a spot on the actual frame of the convertible top where the plastic pinch bracket and the small screw hole seem to line up perfectly (see pictures) and i have one spare small torx screw that the previous owner put into a bag along with several other random bolts and nuts that i am still figuring out where they go, for me that threads right into the hole so i assume that it goes there, but all my research never stated that this switch had to be removed in order to remove the convertible top? am i missing something here or did the previous owner go one step too far for removing the top? any guidance would be appreciated!
