What I did before I adjusted it was, when the upper back panel retracted I tried it up to hold it in place. Then when I opened the lid to put the top down, once the lid opened I would stop, untie it and continue. Here is a link to how to adjust the limit switch. http://www.certifiedrebuilders.com/id30.htm</B></div> <div> <B>Certified Rebuilders does a great job if you need the limit switch rebuilt or repaired. The owner, Barry is great and always helpful.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Re: Convertible top stuck</B></div> <div> <B>Post by 66bird428 » Thu Mar 20, 2025 12:51 am</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Had the switch rebuilt, Barry at www.certifiedrebuilders.com</B></div> <div> <B>He was great.

I tried the rebuild many years ago and never got it going. Luckily I sent it to these guys and they upgrade the weak links in the switch and it has works flawlessly for 15 years.</B></div> <div> <B>http://certifiedrebuilders.com/</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Re: Conv. top not retracking</B></div> <div> <B>Post by Jim Wulf » Thu Jun 22, 2017 4:46 pm</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>My experience has been that it's usually the tray erect limit switch that causes this specific problem, so start by checking its condition and operation. This switch stops the movement of the tray in the tray erect cycle, but it also starts the movement of the top in the top retract cycle which is germane to your problem. First check to make sure the switch isn't broken, cracked etc. The construction of these switches isn't very robust to put it mildly, but they can be rebuilt to better-than-new by Barry Tatelbaum at: www.certifiedrebuilders.com</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Post By Wayne Maddox 7/22/23, </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Barry, I can't thank you enough for your fast service. I got the switch a few days ago and finally got a chance to install it today. Your instructions were spot on! We followed them to the letter. When the moment of truth came, I hit the top down switch and everything worked as designed! I hadn't seen the top down on that car in over 2 years! Thank you so much!

In only eight days (instead of the fourteen promised) I received back a much better than new upper back panel limit switch for my 1966 Lincoln convertible. I have owned this car since 1967, and for the first time the top works flawlessly. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">The upper panel switch has always been the weak link in the top's operation. That link is now strong.
