Default Convertible Latch

I occasionally get a "convertible top not latched" error code when I lower the roof. Any recommendations to stop this from occurring?

There are two micro switches in the header over the windshield associated with the latch and the hydraulic cylinder. Remove the panel and verify operation mechanically and electrically.

It covers the top of the full width of the windshield header.

. . . and there are two hidden screws under the weather stripping, one at each end. Otherwise it comes off with just the screws you can see with the top back.
