The above solution from chameleonsma for the rear windows not going up when closing the convertible problem on my 1999 911 Cabriolet was right on target, exactly what I needed. Is the permanent solution replacement of the sensor/switch in the latch?
There is a small depression in the side of the key. Insert a very small screwdriver into the depression and pry the top and bottom of the key loose. The battery is in the center, just pull it out (or pry it a bit with your little screwdriver) and replace. The top just snaps back on.
it can be the alignment problem the do go like this over time, the bolts on the motor housing and fixing bolts will need to be closed and the the roof latched inplace and then tighten the bolts down again, you can change the washers on the bolts to the spiked type and these will stop movment better.
you should be able to get to the ebrake switch by the e brake lever. If you can, to get top up you can cross the two wires going to the switch together and get the top up normally with switch. If this turns the parking brake indicator on on the dash, then order yourself a new switch and replace.
Hi I have the same problem on my 1999 Carrea, I had the windows at the rear stuck down and the roof latch keeps open and closing, I have not solved this yet it could be a relay but it all started when I was opening and closing on the keypad, if you get the roof up and cant get the rear windows to close get the roof closed to a locking position and where the hood lock pulls back at the roof lock station slide a thin s crew driver up the side of the lock hook they close then, also a tip, if you stick your little finger in the hole where the hood lock goes and press both the rear window buttons up they close when the roof is down. if anyone knows why my hood wont lock please let me know
After much research, my problem appears to be a sensor that detects the parking brake. Here is where I found the solution http://www.bombaydigital.com/boxster/projects/parking_brake_switch/
