1995 FERRARI F355 Unknown Or Other Problems

THIS PARTICULAR CAR (APPROX. 3800 MANUFACTURED) UTILIZES A SEAT POSITION SWITCH (POTENTIOMETER #64978300) THAT MAKES SURE THAT THE SEAT IS CLEAR OF THE FOLDING CONVERTIBLE TOP FRAME WHEN IT FOLDS INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THERE IS ONE SWITCH ON EACH SEAT. WHEN LOWERING MY CONVERTIBLE TOP, THE SWITCH FAILED AND THE CONVERTIBLE TOP FOLDED ONTO A SEAT MOUNTED SEAT BELT BRACKET AS THE SEAT FAILED TO CLEAR OUT OF THE WAY. THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF FRAME BEGAN TO BUCKLE UNDER HYDRAULIC PRESSURE AS IT SCISSORED THE BRACKET. FORTUNATELY I CAUGHT IT IN TIME. THIS ACTIVITY OCCURRED INCHES FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF MY HEAD AND I CAN ONLY SPECULATE THAT EITHER THE ROOF FRAME WOULD HAVE JUMPED OFF THE BELT BRACKET OR THE PIVOT PIN ON THE FRAME COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY BROKEN POSSIBLY CAUSING A HEAD INJURY. I WILL NEVER KNOW THE EXACT OUTCOME AS LETTING THIS PROCESS CONTINUE COULD DO...
