Yes i no what you are saying i have a bike to play on but its a tosseup what gives you the best grin [:)]
 
I have the same problem on my '03.
Tested the micro switch and associated wiring for any open circuits but all seems OK. Thus I am still none the wiser.
Some folks have reported that resoldering the metal tabs has been a solution, but I haven't tried that yet.
I'll be very interested in other comments.
Cheers,
Glenn
 
Microswitches are really a non-maintainance / non-repairable item. Spaying WD40 around is not a good idea. I am a staunch anti-WD40 person. Someone I was working with the other day thought it was a lubricant and started spraying it on a piece of threaded bar!

I hope this from 986FAQ helps:

Windows Act Erratically
Diagnostic: Windows lower at odd moments, or refuse to lower at appropriate moments, such as when the cabriolet top release handle is pulled.
Cause: Cabriolet top microswitch broken or defective.
Details: There is a switch in the mechanism for the handle for the soft top that detects whether it has been pulled. Normally when the switch is pulled, the windows lower about an inch. If, however, the switch is defective, the car thinks the handle is still pulled and will cause the windows to act strangely, lowering at odd moments or refusing to go all the way up. The switch itself is connected on two sides. It appears that pressure on the switch causes one side to come free causing an intermittent contact.
Time in Shop: Under half an hour.
Repair Instructions: You can repair it yourself by removing the lenses for the infra-red sensors for the alarm, then using a T25 torx driver to remove that latch assembly cover. Unplug the three cables from it. Find the center of the plastic switch and a little slot where it is held in place. If you place something thin in the gap where the switch is attached, you will fix the problem.
Notes: None.
