Roof switch ?
Update electrical issue was the rear battery would not charge over 10V and was making a crackling noise even when removed from the car. New batter all good. Now for the new issue I was so happy I opened the roof to fix leak, well no it does not close with the switch in the car , no faults on star. I di manage to close using key infrared method any ideas , how to test the switch?

You need to connect to the lower control panel model and view "Actual values".

With Star Diagnosis switches and other inputs are generally checked via "Actual values" -- never "Actuations". The Actuations menu is associated with outputs, and from it one can see the statuses of outputs and control them manually.
You are right

So what should I look for on the xentry screen to know if stitch is working? What should the values be?
