It sounds like the issue is either with the microswitch in the latch above the windshield or the top relay. Poke the place where the latch hooks to see if it is not being pushed far enough when you close the top. Sometimes the microswitch comes loose.

It's been a while since I had a manual top, but I'm pretty sure that removing the relay will prevent the windows from partially opening.

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like what I want to do then is to remove the top relay. to be clear I’m not having issues when the top is closed with the windows closing all the way, but since my top has been converted to manual, it doesn’t register when it’s fully down and therefore never let me close the windows when the top is down.
