Unlike the Buss fuses we grew up with on older American Cars the Euro Fuses in the Spiders just are not held as tightly so they are more prone to this. Just the nature of the beasts.

Yes, I was amazed at how easily they could be "spun."

But all it took was a few finger-tip powered trips 'round and contact was fully restored.

Its amazing how much pleasure can be found in finding a simple fix! :D

These forums are awesome for ideas for fixing stuff. I'm always impressed by the level of help from people all over the world. Must be the passion for these cars.
