Default Convertible "latch not locked" light question

I retracted the top and the "latched not locked"light lit up. When I raised it, latch locked and light gone. Odd? Of course the latch isn't locked with the top down, I don't need Jaguar to tell me, the wind was a clue.Any thoughts?

At the center of the header where the latch is you have a switch with a linkage that often sticks see the attached link. You need to check to see that the linkage is operating freely.
