Default Problems with top going down and rear wing intermittenly deploying

Hi all;

I would love to get to a group meeting somewhere to ask for help but live in Germany and there's no such thing here.

I've got a 2005 sapphire blue roadster and just this past summer the switch that is engaged by the partition became glitchy, after releasing the handle I get the beeping and the mechanism starts and stops. Releasing and resetting the partition sometimes works but there have been times when it didn't. Additionally the wing will deploy intermittenly after a hard braking, on startup or sometimes just sitting at idle.

The dealer here in Frankfurt that sells Crossfires is pretty much useless, claiming they're having many problems with the tops and tell me to not put any pressure on the partition. Regarding the wing they just tell me it doesn't happen when they drive it, and yet it's a daily occurance for me.

It's clear to me I'm going to have to lead them by the nose if I'm to get these problems fixed so I'm looking for any advice from you.

Can anyone help by telling me-
Is the switch located in the mount where the partition sits on the left side (facing the trunk) the only switch for the top mechanism to engage and do you have any suggestions for this problem ??
Has anyone heard of the wing deploying like this and what the cause may be ??

Thank you
