Convertible Top Switch

[66/72RAB]

Put the top down for the first time this year and the switch shorted out. Looking for a suitable replacement, so far my internet search has come up empty. Is this rebuildable? If so who does this type of thing? Appreciate any suggestions!

You might be able to get that switch rebuilt, depending on the damage.

The good news is that looks like a generic switch would fit and work until you find the right switch.

Once you get the switch sorted out, consider wiring relays into the system to take the strain off the new switch. That's something I need to do... One of these days...

That is a 65-66 switch and there is one for sale on ebay for $160 with the same OEM part number. Google '66 convertible top switch and the link will come up.
Kinda Pricey.

Peel it open - they're dead simple inside, just likely needs things straightened out and lubricated.
