kinda off topic,
when I taped over the 18 pin on the relay switch the automatic adjustment of the windows when closing the top stopped working. I had to manual lower them close the top and then raise the windows again. Kinda annoying so I took the tape off.
Is there a way to preserve this convenient feature?

I had the same issue with the windows. I figured that there was something wrong with the microswitch where the latch was, so I ignored/dealt with it.

At the same time, I was having this problem where the red convertible top light on the dash would light up every time I went over a bump.

I knew there was a connection issue somewhere in the convertible system so my first thought was to make sure the relay was ok. It turns out that it was a little bit loose and that it was causing both of the above problems!

Short story shorter, make sure your relay is in there nice and tight.

BTW, I just bent my pin 18 so that it was flat (no tape). It would be easy to straighten out if needed.
