first convertible scare!

So this morning on my way to work, once I got off the highway I'm navigating through the downtown Toronto pot holes and bumps, I hear a snap and felt a cool breeze.
I then realized both windows were open about 3inches
I tried closing them but they wouldn't go up, they would go down fine, but stop at "top down mode". I looked at the latch it looked fine, but then noticed it was half unlatched, and jammed. I had to pull the top in really hard with one hand and release the latch, then I ran the top through an open/close cycle and everything was fine.
Is this typical, or did I not latch it properly causing the latch to open?
