2009 A5 Cab - Roof not secure error - VCDS help

[Cabbyfan]

Hello all,
Recent convert from A4 Cab to a A5 cab...
Has an issue, soon as I hit 35mph it alarms saying "roof not secure" and the amber warning light on the dash starts flashing. Under 35 mpg the roof waning light is constantly on.
I have just replaced the F202 sensor, roof opens and closes fine (this error was there before I replaced it too).
Based on the open / closed status is the switches and locks, everything is as it should be.

But :-
1. The rear screen heater light wont stay on.
2. Rear roof light wont work (though does flash on for a second just as the roof closes).
3. When closing, the windows don't roll back up.
4. It doesn't always beep on close but does on roof open.
5. Boot wont open with soft touch - I have to use the key.

I have full VCDS :-

So I am pretty sure this means the car thinks the roof is in the wrong position but i cant figure out how to reset that. Its not possible to do a manual open / close (although I have done it and reset the infamous yellow handles in the rear wings).
Any suggestions ? Is this an adaption / measurements blocks thing ?

Hi, did some digging and the outputs below are all backwards compared to a known good set of values.
IDE02664-MAS02271 is top left tension switch - F409 - will take a look at that tomorrow.

Sooooo after a lot of head scratching the roof now opens, closes and the rear courtesy lights and rear screen heater now work

F409 sensor was intermittent. Moved the housing a little. Job done.

No more 'roof not secure ' alarms at 35mph.
