I would probably go for the manual procedure if they will tell you how to do it. Curious how you disconnected the battery when you can't get in the trunk? If you disconnected it elsewhere, you may not have fully powered off the car. Also, if you can get the back seat to fold down, I would reach into the trunk and wiggle the luggage cover a bit in case it isn't fully engaged and stopping the top mechanism if it moved a bit when the top was in motion, otherwise, it could be one of many sensors that is failed. It sort of sounds like it quit moving right after the trunk lid closed and it thinks either the luggage thing has been moved or the the sensor's determining the trunk is closed have decided that it maybe ins't closed. Anything in your trunk right now that could have moved or gotten in the way anywhere?
