Any idea how to fix a switch to cabrio relay?

Hi All,
I've been lurking here for sometime after my 986 purchase almost year ago. It's a 1997 986 2.5litres right hand drive. Love it to bits! Great source of info at this site btw!

However, I've been hit by the dreaded intermittent dropping windows when the cabrio top is up for quite some time. I've tried tightly securing and cleaning the latch microswitch as per advice in previous threads, but it seems to happen again after some time. Most recently, I epoxy'd the microswitch to the latch recepticle, but it doesn't help despite being firmly in place. Just short of changing the microswitch itself....

Now I'm thinking of extreme shortcut measures!

I've noticed that the windows do not drop when I remove the cabrio relay, only trouble is, I can't put the top back down until I plug it back in.

To save the hassle of doing this manually, I want to connect a switch from the power supply wire that feeds the cabrio relay so that I can flick it to simulate removing the relay, and putting it back by turning on the switch.

Will this work? If so, any clues which wire I should splice the switch to? Using a multimeter, there seems to be 2 supplies at 13.5V and 1 supply at 12.5V.

Got the wiring diagram online, but can't make sense of it.

Also, before I do this drastic action, will there be any side effects?

Thanks all in advance!
