Make sure no one bumped the top operation button in the glove box by accident.

Agree with PLAYTYM, the switch could be on OFF. And welcome to CL.

Check to make sure that the cover in the trunk is well seated in the grooves. If either side of that was bumped up a bit, it will lose contact and not allow the top to go down.

Just from memory, doesn't that usually flash when there is a problem with the top operating (i.e. cover not in place, trunk open, etc.)

Johnny you're correct. If the valet switch is in the 'out or locked' position, or the tonneau cover in trunk is not correctly seated, the open/close switch will blink red when pressed as a status indicator. If the OP is sure the switch light is NOT blinking there is another issue.

Check the steel cables in the trunk, they might be off the track.

Other than a Zombie Apocolapse the only thing I truly fear is my roof failing out of warranty.
