f) Convertible top will not operate - Tech who did clutch believes "it's not a memory issue but rather a sensor issue (cannot wait to hear how much THAT will be to fix.

The battery disconnect can screw up your convertible operation, as can an older weak battery. A new CRM (convertible roof module) will set you back ~$800 for the part.
A straightforward bit of DIY labor as shown here....

Aston repair time guidance for the job is 1 hour, but the dealer price for CRM part will likely be well north of the $800 listed on redpants site.

There may be other sensors associated with specific roof functions like latching properly, but I’m not familiar with these.

Don't know if it's applicable in your case, but this might be helpful...
