I looked at an 01 986 yesterday and the convertible top switch had been pushed inside of the dash.

Anybody else had this? How hard is it to get at? Do you think that the switch is broken or just unclipped?

everything but. But you probably want to pop that vertical pannel off (think it just snaps on) and see if you broke a retaining flex finger or someone just popped it out of its seat. Likely someone didn't have the hand brake or clutch in and kept pushing the button hasrder and harder trying to get the top up.

Friend's car he bought (used) at a BMW dealer. It was ok when he made the purchase

a few days ago but when we went to pick it up yesterday the switch was pushed in.

The BMW dealer has agreed to pay the Porsche dealer to fix it, no argument. I just

wondered if there was a simple way to access it without making a trip to the dealer.
