I just pulled the manual release and put it up and down manually for now. Not a big deal since I only put it down when I know its going to be nice out.

Once you pull the manual release you just lock it by turning it a bit so the handle doesn't go back into the sleeve. Then you can use the button just to lock and unlock the top and put it up or down manually. When you want to go back to using the motor you put the handle back into the sleeve I believe.

There is a very good DIY on how to do this.
