The symptoms that my 06 roadster displayed today were exactly the same. I had absolutely no warning, but then my top would not retract. But I didn't believe anything went wrong with the electrical system, switches or motors. I examined the shelf knobs - the ones that you twist to increase the space in my trunk. They were in the correct position all right, but it turns out that the plate hinge attaches the knob to the shelf and the trunk interior on the passenger side had become unattached probably when I was loading the trunk with groceries earlier today. I am surprised that it had become disconnected so easily. anyway, after slipping the hinge back into place - top up/top down; no problem. i guess i lucked out.
