keep us posted either way.

Main thing is it worked
, worth checking all the connections are clean & tight & microswitches are tightly mounted, everything lubed etc, hopefully just an iffy contact somewhere.

Take a piece of rope and the appropriate allen key to lower the roof if it gets stuck open. Good luck

Might just be a tired switch. One of my electric blind switches is a bit dicky and sometimes won't operate the blinds. Maybe spray some of that electrical motor / contact cleaner into it if it does it again and see what happens?
Anyway, a cheap result, lucky you
