DB9 Roof Failure

I have a 2009 DB9 that I recently replaced the roof control module due to the dashboard going dead. The new module cured the issue and I waited awhile till I got the dealer to program it (in order to get the roof functioning). After the dealer programmed it, the roof worked fine, but for only a couple of times. I now get a “roof failure” reported and nothing happens when pushing the switch. Any insight or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Sometimes the window reset procedure will fix funky stuff like this.

After checking all of the related fuses and some of the relays, I decided to check on the roof control module that I had replaced. Since the instrument panel was still working properly (and this is the tell tale for an issue related to the module), this was not my first thing to check. Upon examining the module, one of the zip ties I used to make sure the connectors stayed firmly in place looked like it stretched. So I assume this connector was no loner in perfect contact, but since the other connector was still tight might explain the roof failure, but the dash still working properly. I was relieved as I know there can be real horror stories related to the top not functioning.
