Default Memorial Day Weekend and my top won't go down!!!

I figured I'd throw a coat of wax on the roadster so I could show it off in the town parade tomorrow and I think I screwed it up. I opened the top about half-way so I could polish the tonneau cover, but afterwards I got the red flashing light and no roof activity. Then I managed to get it back in the "up" position so I could lock it, but now it won't work at all. I also noticed that the spoiler won't open or close manually. A quick run showed me it works at speed, but not manually. I assume there is a sensor that isn't satisfied and is keeping the whole thing from working. Three is also a pronounced rattle from the back, so I'm also guessing that it didn't lock all the way (roof to cover). Anyone else have a way I can save the weekend and not have to bring it to the dealer on Tuesday?

HELP!!!

I figured it out. The center of the lock holding the top to the tonneau cover has an allen bolt running through the center. I put an allen wrench in it and turned and it unlocked the top - letting me get it back in operation.

I guess I'll have to put the top all the way down next time...
