Answer 1

It sounds like the roof mechanism may have decided it is jammed. You could try ringing up the local dealer and ask if you can reset the roof or how much it will cost to have your car connected to the computer and have the fault codes read and reset.

Does it have a way of opening it manually? If so, try doing a full manual open and close to see if that fixes the problem.

Disconnecting the battery  for a while might also erase its fault but you would need to have the radio code handy and it may also erase other stuff such as transmission learned behaviour etc.

Other possibility is that the motor has died from not being able to open the roof, however it seems logical that it is more likely that there is a fault code or reset button somewhere rather than just allowing the motor to burn out
