Tray Erect Limit Switch-63TB

Post by jcbird »

I am looking for clarification regarding the tray erect limit switch adjustment for my 63. My switch has been pushed down too far by the tray actuator (see attached photo) and the switch won't close. As a result the top will not retract. The switch works, If I raise the switch shaft slightly the switch will close. The switch itself cannot be moved down anymore, it is at it's limit (pardon the pun). The switch actuator does not slide up or down, it is fixed in position, so the only thing I can do would be to bend the actuator upward. The convertible top manual says to adjust the actuator. Does it mean bending it?

Yes that switch bumper plate is bent to adjust it.
