Designed to replace a worn, damaged or faulty original
switch, this component helps restore reliable operation of the vehicle's
electrically operated sunroof or convertible roof system, depending on the
vehicle's original equipment.
An ageing or defective switch can cause intermittent
operation or prevent the roof mechanism from responding correctly, making
replacement an important part of maintaining the electrical roof controls on
classic Porsche models.
What Does the Sunroof / Convertible Top Tip Switch Do?
The switch provides the driver with an electrical control
for operating the sunroof or compatible convertible top mechanism.
When activated, it sends an electrical command through the
vehicle's roof control circuit, allowing the appropriate motor or control
system to operate.
Correct switch operation is important for convenient and
reliable opening and closing of the roof.
Why Does It Fail?
Over time, electrical switches can deteriorate through
repeated use, ageing and exposure to environmental conditions.
Common causes of failure include:
- Worn
internal electrical contacts
- Corrosion
or oxidation of switch terminals
- Damaged
or weakened internal mechanisms
- Cracked
or damaged switch housings
- Loose
or deteriorated electrical connections
- Wear
caused by repeated operation
Moisture
entering the switch assemblyThese problems may result in inconsistent electrical contact
or complete loss of switch operation.
When Should It Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended when the original switch becomes
damaged, unreliable or no longer operates correctly.
Common symptoms include:
- Sunroof
or convertible top failing to respond to the switch
- Intermittent
roof operation
- Switch
working only when pressed in a particular position
- Loose
or damaged switch mechanism
- Visible
cracks or deterioration
- Inconsistent
operation despite a functioning roof motor
Before replacing the switch, check the relevant fuses,
wiring, electrical connections and roof operating mechanism to confirm the
cause of the fault.
Installation Notes
Before installation, disconnect the vehicle battery
according to the Porsche workshop procedure.
Carefully remove the original switch and inspect the
electrical connectors and surrounding wiring for corrosion, damage or loose
connections.
Fit the replacement switch securely and ensure the
connections are correctly seated.
After installation, test the roof operation and confirm that
the mechanism responds correctly.
If the roof remains inoperative, further inspection of the
motor, relays, wiring and mechanical components may be necessary.

Controls and Electrical Parts
The sunroof and convertible top control switches fitted to
classic Porsche 911 and 964 models form an important part of the vehicle's
electrical roof operating system.
After decades of use, original switches may suffer from worn
contacts, corrosion or internal mechanical deterioration, resulting in
unreliable or intermittent roof operation.
The OE Match sunroof / convertible top tip switch provides a
replacement solution for compatible Porsche 911 models manufactured between
1965 and 1989 and Porsche 964 models from 1989 to 1994.
