The Porsche Micro Switch for Glass Roof, Targa is a genuine OEM component that ensures smooth and reliable operation of your Targa’s glass roof system. Acting as a position sensor, this switch monitors the roof’s movement and sends signals to the control module to start, stop, or adjust the motor.
When the switch wears out, the roof may stop mid-operation, fail to open or close fully, or the motor may continue running past its limit. Replacing it with this OEM micro switch restores accurate roof control, protecting the motor and mechanism from damage while keeping your Targa roof working flawlessly.

Roof and Sunroof Switches – Smooth Control for Porsche Convertibles and Coupes
Roof and sunroof switches are essential components in your Porsche’s comfort and convenience systems. These switches control the operation of convertible soft tops, retractable hardtops, and electric sunroofs — ensuring effortless opening and closing with a single press. They are designed to provide precise control, safety interlocking, and reliable electrical performance every time you enjoy open-air driving.
At Design911, we supply a full range of genuine and high-quality roof and sunroof switches for Porsche models including 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera. Each switch is manufactured to match original equipment specifications, ensuring a perfect fit, smooth operation, and long-term reliability.
What Do Roof and Sunroof Switches Do?
These switches act as the driver interface for the
vehicle’s roof control system. When pressed, they send an electrical signal to
the roof or sunroof control module, which operates motors and sensors to open
or close the mechanism safely.
Functions may include:
- Activating
the convertible top or sunroof motor.
- Controlling
tilt or slide functions for sunroofs.
- Interlocking with vehicle sensors to prevent unsafe operation.
- Integrating with comfort close or anti-pinch systems for safety.
A properly functioning switch ensures seamless coordination between electrical and mechanical components, allowing your Porsche’s roof system to operate flawlessly.
Why Do Roof and Sunroof Switches Fail?
Like all electronic components, roof and sunroof switches
can fail over time due to wear, exposure, and electrical fatigue. Common causes
include:
- Worn
or oxidised contacts reducing electrical conductivity.
- Moisture
ingress or corrosion from humidity or roof leaks.
- Broken
internal mechanisms from repeated use.
- Connector
or wiring faults causing intermittent operation.
- Physical damage to the switch surface or housing.
Symptoms of failure include unresponsive roof controls, intermittent function, or a stuck roof or sunroof mechanism.
Why Replace Faulty Roof and Sunroof Switches?
A defective switch can prevent the roof or sunroof from operating correctly, affecting both safety and comfort. Replacing it restores reliable operation and ensures all system interlocks work as intended.
Benefits of replacement include:
- Smooth and reliable roof or sunroof operation.
- Restored functionality of convertible or panoramic systems.
- Prevention of electrical faults or wiring damage.
- High-quality fitment and finish for a factory look.
All switches are built guaranteeing durability, tactile precision, and consistent electrical performance.
