Default Unusual Window Valet problem

I did a search and found that some people have experienced some issues with the Window Valet and most have been resolved by re-indexing the windows. But I experienced an unusual series of errors yesterday and want to ask if anyone has seen these same issues.

I replaced the original battery in the car (`10 GS convertible) 3 weeks ago. The Window Valet worked before AND after the battery swap. Yesterday it quit working totally. Then the convertible top would not go down and the trunk would not open using either the dash button, rear button or fob button. After I opened the trunk with the key all methods of opening the trunk worked again, but the top still would not go down. When I got home I removed the Window Valet and the top worked fine. Tried the top twice, re-installed the Window Valet and again the top would not move. Will try to contact Top Down Technology tomorrow, but I don't plan on using the Window Valet again until I know more answers.

I am going to replace fob batteries and re-index windows today.
