I am not sure what you are trying to do. But if the problem is that the roof will only open to the first stage, sun roof, and no further, the problem is the package shelf in the trunk.
If the package lid gets pushed up and is not pushed back to it's normal position, the roof will fail to open completely. If you lift the bottom of the roof at the boot, there are levers on either side to release the bottom edge of the roof, you can make certain that the package shelf is seated correctly. Once the shelf is seated, the roof will open in all of it's glory.

Make sure that the microswitches in the rear trunk are all depressed. There is one where the parcel shelf (the cover that covers the view of the trunk from the outside) sits on the left that is usually the problem make sure that it is sitting on the microswitch (pull down on the closest side to you so it pivots forward and sits on the microswitch. Then make sure that the latch on the left side (drivers side) of the rear that allows easier access to the trunk switches the microswitch there. now close the trunk and try the conv top. the parcel shelf, the rear access latch and i think the trunk switches need to be depressed for the top to work. I know at least the first two.

Have you checked the parcel shelf is seated properly as there are micro switches beneath it so the car knows it will not jam the roof as it is lowered?

Some things to try:
Raise and lower all windows through a cycle or two
Open and re-latch the Rear shelf latches
good luck

do you hear hydralic motor if not use test light while operating control switch up and down position, you need a helper for this procedure.if power is at switch, see if power at hydralic motor while helper work the control switch, if no power at motor hook test light to good ground if no power at hydralic motor check fuse.if power at hydralic motor and you hear no sound hydralic motor bad.if power going to control switch and not to hydralic motor either control switch bad or you have broke loose wire at switch going to motor.if all electrical system okay and when you work the up switch and hear hydralic motor running your hydralic fluid level low reason why convertible top not going up.check fluid level at the side of the motor and pump you should see screw type check plug.you should have see through side reservoir fluid level should be between min and max marks.if fluid is low check for leaks at the pump hoses and hydralic cylinders.
