I had this problem earlier this season and didn't worry about it as I don't drive this car this much. Today I remembered it when I went to put it away for the season; if I hold the button down to close the roof the roof only closes ~90% of the way and then stops moving. I tried pulling on it a bit and didn't get close enough to latch it shut. The gap is around 3-5 inches between the frame and the convertible top. I tried cycling it all the way back and then forward again, and it did the same thing. What should I examine next year to try to get it to close correctly?

Gain access to the hydraulic pump. It's probably low on fluid. Look in your service manual if you still have it.
Hydraulic pump liely low on fluid. Needs to be topped off. You'll have to remove the rear seat to access it.
While you are there, look for leaks. The lift cylinders are a typical source for a slow leak around the piston seals
