Default 01 Cab top won't close.....

I left the top down on my 01 Cab last nite and went to close it this morning to go to work. I pull up the emergency brake, the light (fro the ebrake) goes on in the dash. I press the button to close the top, the windows roll down, then I hear a click and the light in the dash blinks (for the top)...

I check the fuse, and I checked to make sure the hood wasn't left half open (weird thing is I had the front hood open to put stuff in prior to starting the car) - still the same thing happens....

Any ideas on what else to check before having to take it to the dealer? I remember reading stuff about this but my searches come up empty!

THanks in advance,
Will

I had the same problem other day, the trunk/hood which ever in the rear was not shut all the way... that fixed it....

Anything else I can check? The fuse is fine...I've opened and closed both the front and rear hoods....nothing appears to be blocking the physical operation of the top... anything else to check?

Thanks,
will

I just got home and tried the entire process again with the windows up. Its starts off with the windows coming down, but they don't come down all the way...and then the light in the dash starts blinking....when I press the button again, then the windows go down the rest of the way, but then the light in the dash continues to blink....

Hopefully that gives some more information!

THanks,
Will

I found sometimes I have to pull up on my parking brake harder than I thought necessary. That seemed to do it.
