Just went through this on my 98 LSC.

The motor is "out -of - sync".

look at the gear housing on the motor you will see a little clear, round, plastic window. There are two little gears one white, one gray they each have little 'tit' that have to line up for the roof to work.

the roof must be all the way forward and in the normal seated position to align the gears. You have to remove the motor (3 screws and power cable) to move the roof manually. Once back in place connect the power cord only and cycle the switch til the gears align. Now you can reassemble -USE blue loctite to secure the screws so this wont happen again any time soon.

97-98 are totally different than 93-96

Hope this helps.
