Default Vert top doesn't go up

Repairing a 07 C6 convertible
Top doesn't go up.
Both Air bags have deployed and driver door off car. do any of these thinks contribute to top no going up, also the Pass. door window doesn't go up either. Is this because of drivers door not installed?

Default top

I know that the door windows need to go down to get the top to go up or down! Probably an issue with the door not being on.

So it knows when the windows are down to activate the top, Then the loop of the drivers door not being there must be preventing the top from moving. makes sens.

When you get both windows operating, they have to be indexed before the top will operate. Indexing is simply running the window all the way up, with the door closed, until it stops, but continue to hold the button up for ~5 seconds. You will hear an audible click.

There is also a switch located on the bracket by the hinge on the trunk. Make sure it is plugged in or else nothing will work.
