Windows and roof fully open on their own

Hi all
It has happened 3 times now but only when the car is unlocked.
All four windows went down, thinking i'd left them open I closed them again. Within 5mins they all opened again, at first I thought I had sat on the key, but they were indoors in a drawer.
I locked the car and all was well again.
A few days ago the roof ( it's a cab ) opened of it's own accord whilst the car was unlocked again. The windows had also gone down.

I have read the article on the possible cause, micro switches but can't see anything that points to the roof going down, it mentions the windows opening 10cm but not the roof and the windows going all the way down.

I also heard the alarm beep twice the other day when locking the car, very unusual, it never normally does that. I also read an article relating to a brass ariel connector on the alarm module, checked that and it appears tight.

Can anyone help please. I'm not great with technical or even mechanical issues but would like to try and fix this myself. If it is likely to be a micro switch, which one baring in mind the roof opening? Logically thinking could it be related to the comfort opening as that would control both opening, ie roof and windows, does that have a micro switch somewhere?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Regards.
