I'll give that a go.

I also tried to lower the roof but was informed that it couldn't be done at this point in time.

Why was this?

- too cold and roof frozen shut?
- door not shut?
I had this too. Rather than the warm water defrost approach, I bought a small cover for the roof and windows to keep the frost off. It seemed to work this morning,I did not enjoy the stuck window situation.
In the manual it says that the roof is disabled below a certain temperature. I thought it was 5 Celsius but on Saturday afternoon it was below that temp and I drove about in the pale winter sunshine before my feet got too cold. The Straight Pipes we're driving an M8 Cabriolet around at -5 C so it's not completely clear what the criteria are.
