I hate to think I know it all; esp with Mercedes NO ONE knows it all, BUT I was pretty/relatively sure that when they went to the newer system that they dropped that lower limit switch. It was also my understanding that your top was stopping with the top bow standing straight up, ie "half way from closing", so more than one is confused by the problem. OK, given the problem as it is presented now, I think it may be either the proximity sensor in the top of the windshield header, OR the small magnetic plate in the soft top front bow is missing or the magnet fell out. The magnet is in a plastic cover, and it matches up with the proximity sensor in the windshield header trim, it "tells" the control unit that the top bow is down on the header and to "push" the bow down and latch the fron latches. It is on the newer style system, the older 129's didn't have this. When they went to this style is when I had thought the microswitches in the bottom of the doors was dropped, thought it just did it with the window motor sensors.
