Just wanted to check back in since this may be searched in the future. Turns out, it was the latch microswitch all along.

My indy said almost all top failures are due to the microswitches. In my case, I think the switch failed between releasing the latch and trying to open the top. In other words, the latch would signal the windows down but would go cold immediately after. Sounds stupid, but every failure I've had since has been solved by simply repressing the microswitch.

I was also able to reposition the top to hook into the microswitch better. This has decreased the failure rate significantly.

TL;DR: If your windows drop but the top won't open, try pressing the microswitch again.
