Soft top will not open.

I just had to replace the driver's side window. Now the top won't go down. The boot/cover opens and the rear of the top folds up but nothing else happens. What do I do next? Are there sensors in the door that are not being activated?
Thank you,
Phil

Yes, there is a mechanical limit switch in the bottom-center of the door. Apparently when your window lowers the switch is not closing.
