1st things first.
Is the Brake light on the dash coming on when you put the handbrake on?
Often its that switch that can cause problems . . . .

There is a switch behind the handbrake if you lift the console that must make good contact, give that a scrape or a rub with some emery cloth.

Have you got the engine running whilst trying to get the roof up? If it's been up and down a few times without the engine running it might have just drained the battery and run out of juice.

So who's going to produce some stickers to go next to the roof button with English instructions
