Welcome to the forum! Please take a moment to visit the User Control Panel and update your profile to include your car model and year, and your location (at least country). This information will then appear below your name and avatar on the left side panel next to each post you make. This will greatly help others to give you better information.
My guess is that the message is telling you that the soft top is open, i.e. not fully closed. I assume you have tried to cycle it open and closed again? If that all works but you still get the message, then you probably have a bad limit switch. Here is a diagnostic aid that I created which may help:

You should also pull codes from the soft top controller. Note that you will need a tool that goes beyond a generic OBDII scanner. It must be capable of reading MBZ's proprietary system. Some hat do include SDS (MBZ's official Star Diagnosis), iCarsoft i980, iCarsfot MBII, and Autel MD802 Maxdiag Elite.
