You can manually close the top. Behind each front seat on the side of the rear panel, you will see a plastic grommet. Remove the grommet. There is a bolt. Loosen the bolt on each side - just enough to release the top. YOu can then manually close the top. YOu can lock the top to the windshield header with a screwdriver - which is inserted into a slot just inside each fastening point. Then you can take the car to someone who can figure out what the problem is. My own 993 needed a control unit replaced (one on each side at the rear), plus there are some cables that need to be correctly adjusted.
