Default Roof

I tried putting the roof down today but a golf club got jammed. I released the club and finished putting it down. Now it will not come up, pressing the button all I get is a bleep.
I have raised it Manually and located the latch and pressed the arms back up,the rear windows will now not close.

Any ideas about how to fix it

Cycle the top from fully latched to down and back up to fully latched even if manually. Verify that the reservoir is filled to between the low/high lines.

My guess is that the micro switch at the top of the right ram is not closing. The golf club didn't get caught in that area by any chance did it?

The windows are not going to come up until all the micro switches satisfy the Body Processor Module that everything is closed.

The club got stuck in the left hand side looking from the rear of the car,I have raised it manually and believe it to be fully locked. I have read the post indicated by 01, but as usual there is no conclusion if or what fixed it.

When you manually raise the roof, you need to ensure the rams are fully extended to engage the microswitch for the rear windows. Recommend checking out the link below regarding manual ops and many other helpful items:
