Turn the tap on the pump. This will allow you to raise the roof by hand. It in effect creates a bypass in the hydralic system.

 

You probably have a faulty relay as theres two. switching them around will probably make the roof go up but not down

A friend of mine had a roof that was converted from manual to hydrolic and it had two little safety catches in the back. There were two little levers near the rear speakers that needed to be pushed down as to release the roof. Nut sure if this helps but it's worth looking.

If you have a hydrolic roof these latches need removing as you don't need them. The hydralic system holds the roof down. On cars that came from the factory these were removed
