One simple thing to try. Your car is a 1999 and in the 1999 that I used to make that video, the problem ended up being the *second* micro-switch in the top latch. The later models have one switch up there, but I found out that the '99s have two. One drops the windows and the other allows the top to operate. In mine, the plastic that holds the micro switches in place had come a little loose.

With the brake set and top unlatched, try poking a finger in the top latch and pressing/moving it around while holding the top switch to open. It's a long shot, but costs nothing and needs no tools.
