Cabriolet problem solved
I’m posting this as a FYI announcement.
I had repetitive problems with my top closing and latching reliably. It turned out that both micro switches on the latch area were warped (time took its toll). There was no way they could work reliably.
In aviation, parts are replaced on a timetable, whether they work or not. I have had car mechanics try to talk me out of replacing 30 year old fuel lines.

The AD mechanic didn't try to talk me out of it, but I did have to request new fuel lines. Some parts you just can't wait around until they fail.
