I was helping out another forum member at my house today with his roadster. And he mentioned that he has trouble with getting the top to go down at times. And of course it would not go down today. I know about the microswitch on the partition. It seemed to be working but I adjusted the lever a bit to be absolutely sure it was activated. Still no luck.

Then I unplugged the microswitch and jumped (bypassed) the plug with a piece of temporary wire. Closed the trunk lid and still no luck.

I still am not sure when the partition is in place, should the switch be open or closed (electrically)?

Is anyone aware of any other safety switches that must be in a certain position for the top to open? After playing around a bit with the partition and other things, it suddenly began to work.

When you pop the front latch, the windows go down automatically so I assume the switch in the windshield frame is good.

Any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.
