Exclamation HELP! convert top error!

I was stuck in traffic and wanted to put my top up. I was in drive the whole time and just as it was almost done traffic started to move and I instictivly started to accelerate slowly.

Apparently the top was NOT finish coming up!

The drivers area of the top latches but the rear window portion is not sitting right.

The auto top button now just errors and blinks at me. I can not get the top to move at all. It will not go up or down....

can someone please help as I am kinda freaking out right now!

thanks! :|

When I open the top from inside the cabin all the windows go down, but when I hold the power top button nothing happenes. The button blinks at me.

It's a slow blink. I can tell from outside the vehicle that the rear of the top it's not sealed properly.

Does anyone have any advise?!
As I said. I'm freaking out a little.

Fixed it!!!!

All I had to do was press the roll bar button and then top sealed in the rear. Amazing. The roll bar wasn't even up.....

Anyway. Thanks for letting me vent ;|
