After a number of years, my switch eventually wore out. As a result I was using an insulated screwdriver to short the contacts, whenever I wanted to raise or lower the roof. (I went on with this for a number of years.)

new ones readily avail on Ebay and thru AMES performance.
think they are about in the 75 dollar range.
Or you can get a toggle switch from the auto parts store, you will need one rated for at least 40 amps. and needs to be a "momentary ON, Off, Momentary ON. 3 postition.

Did the "toggle" switch routine on a friends 69 Cutlass when his switch stuck in the down position after lowering the top. I had a H.Duty/3 way switch that returned to centre on it's own. Worked fine till he got new one, [think from Fusick's] around the $80 mark with the harness & plug & they mailed it to him from US!!!!!!

appparantly screwdrivers will get that top down also like the red wine......
A buddy with a 67 Parisienne convertible was unable to find a convertible top switch, and has used a station wagon rear glass switch for years. They operate the same, one says "Top" while the other says "Rear Window". Good luck in finding a proper switch, as I believe they are unique to 67, and unique to B body cars. Other years and body styles may look similar, but are different.
