An old thread, but may help someone later on a search.
I thought I'd add that I discovered ( ages ago) that a few condtions must be met to allow folding of the roof.
In my case I was new to the car, not spoken to previous owner,
however for a roof problem that has just come about, may not help much..
One my car the roof (manual folding) there is a sequence, and interlocks must be satisfied.
The handbrake switch must be made, handbrake on, this is where I was going wrong ( had it in park only).
So with ign/engine on,, handbrake on,transmission in park (A\T) release top catch from inside,all windows drop automatically to half way position.
Get out, fold roof til rear end is at 90degress, press button behind door, this button then releases the lid of the storage comp for the roof. open lid by hand, fold in roof.
So a non operating rear lid cold be down to a faulty button, or a missing signal from the handbrake switch, or a problem with the lid catch solenoid, or any of the wiring to these,
