Yes, try replacing that white with a constant fused at either the battery or the cabin fusebox constant feeder cable.Use a fuse of the same rating.
If that works here are two ways to do it.
Automatic:-
roof_open_or_close.bmp
This method will give you automatic close and either controlled open or
open as long as you hold on to the aux button depending on whether you set that aux for timed or pulsed. Note the two 1N4004 diodes.
Holding the button, two relays connected as per the 5 wire diagrams in the relay section.
Note if the roof has latches which you have to close manually, then the automatic method is a waste of time.

OK so I missed those posts whilst composing the pretty diagram, go to the motor and revert the switch back to it's original white wire.
For simple closing do this:- roof_close.bmp

The wire at the motor that sits on ground then goes to 12V+ on closing the roof is the only one you need to cut.
Switch side to 87a.
Motor side to 30.
Aux output via 1N4004 to 85, diode band to alarm side.
12v+ constant fused at the same rating as the original roof fuse to 86 and 87.
1N4004 diode across the coil, band side to 86.

the wire at the motor that shows positive when the top goes up, this wire gets cut and hooked to 30 and 87a. the side that goes to the motor must go to 30 or else it wont work.
edit: howie beat me to it....

Sorry for all the questions! The diode that goes on 86. Is that going in series on 86 only or is that actually going across 86 and 87? Im thinking it only goes on 86. At least thats what makes sense to me! Thanks again for all the help. If you guys are in the philly area anytime look me up. Beers on me!!!

Across 85 and 86, band towards 86, look at my last picture again.
