The fix is replacement of the microswitch. The plastic flap for the switch has distorted. There is no provision for adjustment. To replace:
1. Open the top.
2. Remove the rubber seal from across the top of the windsheild header holder. This will expose the Torx (T-20 I think) screws. It not nessicary to romve the seal down the A-pillars.
3. Remove the Torx screws and remove the seal holder.
4. Remove both sunvisors and clips (T-10 I think).
5. Remove the map light assembly.
6. Remove the plastic covers for the header. One on top, two on the bottom. I think the right bottom one comes off first.
7. Remove the latch assembly and unplug the connector to the switch.
8. Remove the two very small Phillips screws that attach the switch to the latch. Note the position of the wiring exiting the latch. It should always go to the right.
9. Reassemble in reverse order. (I always wanted to say that :))
A note on reinstalling the seal into the holder. I don't use any lube. I hook the front of the seal in the channel of the holder and then use an old #1 Phillips screwdriver to run down the backside and get the seal into the holder. Also I start one side and get about 6 inches started, then I go the other side and do the same. I then do about 6 inches in the middle. I then work each side, splitting the undone section is half.
The reason for this method is to avoid excessive seal strech. It you start from one side and move to the other, you will have an extra 2-3 inches left over.
Good luck,
