Roof not closed indicator light

The lamp on the dash still indicates that the roof is open even when i know its fully closed.I've located the limit switch on the underside of the roof channel (drivers side) and operated this with a screw driver and the light does go out.The beeping noise operates when it is operating and stops ok when closed or fully open.I've tried moving the limit a little but theres not a lot of play.Can anyone tell me what it is that actuates this limit. Better still any photo's of one thats working as well as description of operation. Any help welcome.

Mine has flashed the 3+ years since I bought it. Microswitch is goosed and I can't be *arsed to replace it (fiddly job + need to locate the right part). I've put a square of black PVC tape over the dash to blank it out so I don't have to stare at it

the micro switch for the roof light flashing/beeping is the one on the roof as you raise the roof, drivers side at the very front of the runners. may just need adjusting/moving slightly.

Yup - should have added that. There's all sorts of suggestions about using a piece of cardboard or w.h.y wedged in there to sort it out, but in my case I've tried al lthat and I fear it is 100% prime time
