the hydraulic fluid is low, pull the back seats so you can get easy access and lay a towel around the top motor, pull the fill plug out of it and fill it with auto trans fluid TYPE F (ATF Type F), cycle the top a few times to get the air out, then top it up with the top down and replace the fill plug.

i have the same problem, it wont go down, so i lowered it manually, and went threw the trunk to fill the pump, but it was full, but when using the button the top will go back up, just not down.
