Sounds like another broken wire.
As roof moves the wires separate at the break and all comes to a stop. Until limit switch is triggered windows won't move up as system doesn't know status of roof, i.e closed.
Biggest problem now is access to boot to dump pressure to lift top roof panel over to gain access to wires.
There is a way to bridge the fuse box to unlock boot. I did my own boot mod for this eventuality, served me well.
I have had this 3 times now, just waiting for left wires to fail. I should just replace them now.
Just being lazy.

Search the forum covered many times.
 
Not sure if you are a DIY person or you prefer to take it to a dealer or specialist. If the latter, and you are in the south east region, then I have used Cayman autos in Redhill for mine when it failed in October.

Can leave the wire loose and apply 12 volts or wire to a switch.
My car was missing the boot release switch so i modified such switch to apply 12 volts to wire.
So i can open boot in any roof position to access boot and pump.
