My brake light wasn't coming on either until I drove the car and used the hand brake to slowly come to a stop. The light then turned on and I was able to lower the roof. No problems in 4 weeks now. I don't know why it worked...but it did. Try it!

Who cares? This is where the post was started...so be it. There are many, many posts in the wrong "forums" on this site but nobody questions it much. Were all here to help each other...not worry about trivial problems such as the above question.

Just for future reference, where does one post threads of this nature? I thought this was "Performance and Technical chat".

roof problems
Just had a roof problem today as discussed here and through the "search" function found this thread. Gives me a couple ideas for things to check out tormorrow. Had my 2004 Boxster just 2 months and there is lots to learn yet.

Thanks very much to all who posted here.

Roof problem
I too have a roof problem, the handbrake is up, the gear in neutral but when I dissengage the roof latch the windows come down as normal. However when I press the switch to bring the top down..... nothing, i tapped the interior light area and it worked again, it was like this for a week or 2 until it packed in completely. Now i thought the interior light microswitch was only for the windows?? This is confusing me, can someone clarify?
Thanks Jason
