Diagram ref no 6
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
These 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.
Porsche 911 & 964 Sunroof Switches, Convertible Roof 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.
Also replacing the earlier Porsche reference 91161362200, this switch is suitable for maintaining the original electrical roof control arrangement where specified.
