Soft top swap issues

[dghii]

I don't believe that will be the wires the OP is referring to. There's in a microswitch behind drivers shoulder on the earlier cars (97-99). I've done a few tops but can't remember specifics about the switch other than not having any issue with it regarding disconnecting or connecting. Certainly no reason to cut wires.

dghill,

Yes it is the switch you are talking about. I already disconnected the defroster plug. I was able to slide the whole frame back. There is switch connected to the frame somehow. I can see the two wires from the switch running behind the trim piece Ike84 is talking about. Maybe if I take that trim piece out I can find a connector to unplug the switch. There must be a way besides cutting the wire. Maybe there is a connector on the switch itself? I'm not sure because I can't see the body of the switch because it is behind a plastic cover. Oh well I'll be back at it after work today.
