Yesterday, I changed the rear shocks and had to keep the soft top opened half way to remove the shocks. After finishing the job my roof top will not latch to to the windshield, using the power button. It will however latch using the manual key. After latching it with the manual key, the computer still thinks that the roof is open and won't engage the alarm.
As far as opening goes, it's fine. The process will complete begining to end, even after manual latching. It will open the latches, retract the top, raise the end shield near the trunk, fold the top, while closing the latches, lower the shield and raise the windows.
It seems that the motor doesn't close the latches when it comes to the windshield.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Thank you in advance for your inputs.

I have a 2003 Audi A4 3.0. I thought it may be the micro switch in the roof lining near the motor housing...I replaced it, but it is still doing the same. I bought the car at a good price. The top wasn't working at all...now it does the above. I also replaced the top roof position sensor and that helped to get it to this point, so I have this one last problem. Thanks!
