Convertible Top Microswitch
I put on a new convertible top for my 2005 Crossfire and shortly thereafter my top would not retract. I located a company named Potter's Precision Imports that work on such issues. After diagnosing the issue, they realized that I had a small broken part on the microswitch. They removed it and it seems to be working find for now. They tried to locate a new microswitch (part #A1938202110) but were unsuccessful with all their contacts. I was informed that they no longer make this part. If anyone may have an extra one of these or know where to purchase one, please contact me. Thanks much.

It is a Chrysler part number. I don't have a roadster. Potter's Precision owners all worked for Mercedes and said they can usually get parts through their contacts, but not this one. I did find a used one on Ebay but not interested in putting in a used one. Thanks for your response.

Photos would help or a word from the guru pizzaguy.
The Mercedes number is so it can go on a list of standard Mercedes part designs, parts made for the Crossfires start with a number that corresponds to the Mercedes numbering system eg. A 193 XXX XX XX.

The micro switch is broken, surely there are other micro switches that will fit.
What actually is broken?
Check the photo posted by onehundred80. Which ever company, Chrysler/Mercedes makes the switch, I gave the number that the Potter's Precision gave me. Thanks.
That seller you posted the pictures on eBay from does not have great feedback at all so I would not buy from him either.
The Mercedes part number is on it so that it could possibly be used by them on another model car in the future, it would save them from designing something similar in the future.
The Chrysler number generally appears only in the Chrysler computer system with a cross reference to the Mercedes part number. If the part is still available they will buy it from Mercedes and mark up the price generously for you.
No company made the micro switch specifically for this assembly, it is a standard shelf item from some maker of micro switches and would be in a catalogue. These switches generally are made to a specific sizes and are often interchangeable with other makers switches if they are commonly used.
A little investigation should turn up some alternatives. Maybe the switch makers name and part number are on the switch, removing the numbers would make the part more expensive to make due to the plastic mold having to be modified.
Keeping costs down is the name of the game.
