In the trunk with the lug tool there is a S shaped small wrench. That is to manually close the roof. In the back seat there is a round plastic plug in the headliner. Put a screw driver or dime or whatever in the slot and turn it 1/4 (maybe 1/2 dont remember) and pull the plug out. The tool fits in the opening and you can manually turn it. See if you can close it by hand. If so try opening and closing it with the switch again and see if the same thing happens.
