My top had been acting erratic ever since i had my windshield replaced a month ago. Finally, the top got stuck half way open. I searched the forum and found this thread.
-My windows came down the 4 inches. so latch microswith #1 in the latch was okay.
-The microswitch under the clamshell was working (light went out)
-parking brake light came on, so that microswitch was working
- the fuses looked fine...so that wasn't it
-Unscrewed the top latch assembly w/ a T25 bit. I put the key in, turned on the electrical power. I touched the metal strips on microswitch #2 with my finger, then voila.... the top closed when I touched the top button.
- next i'll find the bad solder joint and fix it when i get home from work.
For those who have fixed this issue... Should i look at the ends of the metal strips for the area where i need to solder? I could not see the bad solder at first glance.
thanks again!!
Very easy job to tackle if anyone has this problem... I'm no mechanic by any means.
