***Cheap fix for bad microswitch on the tonneau hatch*** (Don't try this unless you know what you're doing)

I had an old microswitch sitting around that closes the circuit when depressed. I cut the wire from the old defective (Gray) switch and soldered the two wires to the new (Black microswitch) Then I carefully lined it up with the black lever. drilled a pilot hole in the bracket and threaded a heavy screw and glue mounted the new microswitch. Works like a charm! Unfortunately I will have to forgo the brass cover now. But it works until I decide to purchase a new bracket assembly with the microswitch. Ebay wants $70 to $125 for these units. My fix was about $3 and an hour of time. (See photos)
