    Maybe the wiring harness going from the front of the top to the back is breaking. I believe it runs on the drivers side of the top.

    That is correct it is the wire bundle probably where it bends when the roof closes/opens. Have the close roof switch depressed and wiggle the cable, when the roof moves you got the spot. Learned this from a Master BMW Mech.

    I don't really know the answer, but have you tried unplugging the battery for 10 minutes then plugging it back in to reset?
