Convertible top fixed again

Second problem with the top. First time was intermittent operation caused by an intermittent fuse 13 connection in the trunk fuse box.
Different this time.
Lift up on the top switch and get a slow flashing light. Roll bar works with the roll bar button, so the pump circuit is ok. Checked the limit/lock switches on the connector pins of N52. Pin 11 was open with the top down. Soft top fabric bow up/down limit switch (S84/15). Took a look at it and saw that the switch arm had come off the end of the hydraulic cylinder. Tried to push the arm back in but couldn't, heard plastic pieces falling out of it. Got a new one at the dealer for $147 and replaced it. Pita of a job, had to remove the back seats and the side panel to get to the buried switch connector. Top works fine now.
