Top Won't Close

Nope it shouldnt be a problem so long it stays out of the way of the tire and doesnt get chafed to death by whatever you teathered it with.

can it be intermittent micro-switch in the parking brake then?

even though the brake light works on the dash?

+ the handbrake switch is actuated by the handle not the cable. Second most likely culprit is the sensor/switch in the top latch receptacle.
Try this, with the windows up (and doors closed) pull up on the handbrake, ensure that the "Park" light is on, then pull down the top latch... Do the windows drop down?

Yes, when i pull the latch down the windows do drop a few centimetres.

But unfortunately the roof doesnt follow suit.

any other suggestions??

Appreciate your help by the way.
