Might want to try cleaning the contacts or testing them and buying a cheap Radio Shack part if needed. Here are some pictures and info:

Dragon2U is right! Follow the direction on the link he posted.

Just remove the four bolts, turn latch over.
Clean or repalce miroswitches.

10amp any Radio Shack.

And if that doesn't fix it, Niceville Bill has TLat switches which won't cost your $1200.

My is having the same issue. Goes to the dealer on Friday to see if it is covered by extended warranty.

When you get the TLAT error the DIC thinks the roof is ajar. Also the cover doesn't lock. Tried the cables, no luck. Opened the cover and gave the latches a tap with a rubber mallet. Roof is now closed.

Thanks Dragon 2U for the post. Great pictures to see the problem.

Tony, I have NEVER heard of these switches to actually fail. They just need
some lubrication. If your cover does not lock (just try picking it up on one
side) you need to get at the switches inside the black box. You will then see
where the switch is stuck closed. Just take some WD40 and work the plunger
back and forth.
The switches are the same on both sides of your truck so it could be one or
the other. Gary

Confirmed the work is covered under my extended warranty. Now have to wait to see if they can find parts

I have this issue. I do not see a mechanical switch. Is there an adjustment? Can a Fanatic please provide a pic? I located the plate with the 4 10mm bolts, the 'switch' i see is just a white piece. I dont see anything to lube with wd40. Are these really proximity switches? Does radio shack have them? My top is intermitant, it only gives error if someone says 'hey, can ya show me how the top goes down??' 442

They found the parts and my is scheduled for surgery tomorrow.

Trying to keep the parts. Any tips on how to convince the dealer to let me keep them? Apparently GM wants the parts back for warranty work. I made the case about future parts shortage and they were looking into it.
