Convertible top switch can be modified to work, but they are different. I forget the subtle differences, but they are different. I used one, but I still periodically have an issue. I think I ended up swapping parts to use the old with some of the convertible guts. Tabs break, and you will have to glue or tape the thing back together. If I figured it out, you will be able to as well. That all being said, also be aware that many times it is not the dash switch but near as I can figure the ground between the door and the body. Dirt & dust builds up, breaking the connection. I have this issue from time to time. If you work the latch and/or push on the cargo door and get it to work you can tell if this is the issue. A little friction is all it takes to get the dirt out of the way. I have not been able to determine exactly where the contact is that fails. Another symptom is that if the key will not activate the window either it is not the dash switch.

There are no reproduction switches available that I am aware of.
