manual-converted convertible top questions

[alexc0814]

Hello, I have a 2001 boxster that I converted to a manual convertible top some time ago. I pulled out the top transmissions and motor which gave me a warning light and then I jumped the wires that used to be connected to the transmission on the left side to get the light to go off.

I believe that jumping these wires made the top think it is always closed, which is an issue because opening the latch to put the top down prevents me from rolling the windows up all the way when the top is down.

Has anyone managed to fix this issue? Perhaps removing the top relay, or somehow soldering the latch microswitch to think its always closed?

Thanks!
