Now the roll bar light comes on when I first start the car then goes off (normal?) but the damn roll bars still won't go down. The buttons to raise/lower the roll bars are always lit?
When trying to pull codes from port 2 under the passenger floor mat, I don't get any flashes at all, not even 1. The red soft top switch is always lit up but doesn't do anything when pressed.

The button on the dash should be blinking at start up and then go out which is what yours is now doing. You should get one flash when you read pin 2 in the footwell if there are no codes stored
I am sure you have done this but are all of your fuses good? There are fuses for the soft top roll bar in addition to the standard set of fuses. It's possible your roll bar controller is fried but I don't know a way to test it other than swapping in a good one.
You probably have this page from the code book but just in case:
