Alcohol? I've always found that to be very effective in getting tops down.

It's probably not the fuse. you will need to open up the center consol and look to see if the ebrake light mechanism is hung up.

maybe i can be of some help....

i had this same issue when i changed my center console to an ap2... anyways i found out that below the ebrake if you take off the center console / cover you'll notice theres a little buttonthat the ebrake presses against once engaged and that sensor is i believe for the brake light sensor as well as the sensor for the covnertible top...


i wasn't able to make the top come back up after it was down due to this play around with it and im pretty sure it'llhelp pm me for a more detailed explanation.

Might be a stupid question (or not), but are trying to put the top down with the engine on or off?

I tried both engine on and engine off no luck, but I noticed that the brake light is out on my dash when I pull out my hand brake.
