Help top stuck down

Looks like my e-brake switch failed and my top is stuck open.

When I pull the ebrake lever the light doesnt turn on showing the brake is engaged, so i think that is the culprit. I opened the panel on the console brake lever left sude but I cant see the switch. Does it require pulling the consol to replace the switch?

And second question, is there an easy way to get the top closed? I have underground parking and the car is covered but dont trust anybody to mess around.

Crazy only had the wheel spacers installed tire off spacer tire on. Lol

Update! I managed to get the ebrake micro switch to engage long enough the get the top up. So definately broken switch causing the problem. So looks like i can replace it or bend pin 15 on the relay and solder in a ground to bypass the problem.
