Nothing yet out for the F56 or F55 from Weathertech ( we carry ) or MINI yet.
The window is a little different on the R56 vs the F56 F55 so i don't think its would be a perfect fit. I will post in this thread when more comes out.

I have been using the ZippeeShade from zippeegear.com for the last month or so. The temperatures inside the car are much lower than when I just had the Cooper's standard shade. Haven't used a thermometer yet but the difference is amazing. Even my wife commented on the lower temperatures inside the car. All cars get hot but the MINI was just baking before; now it is actually tolerable.
The gear comes with two shades folded up in a single bag. Instructions on use and even ironing (if you are worried about wrinkles) were included. I chose not to iron anything because I was afraid I would melt the fabric - your results may vary! The gear uses 4 suction cup mounts for each shade.
I felt the functionality of the ZippeeShades were as advertised and really appreciated the friendly customer service. I am new to the Cooper World but at this point in time I highly recommend the product, particularly if you live in a hot climate or anywhere with brutal summer conditions - like deserts - or - Corporate Parking Lots where the mirrored buildings melt motorcycle windshields for kicks...
Will include some photos to show how easy it was to install.
I ordered sunshades from Heatshield. I purchased shades for all 6 windows of my F56. They fit geat and stow nicely in the boot under my loading floor in the cubby. They are having a blowout sale right now. I ordered them on Sunday and received them today (Wednesday). They are located in Morgan Hill CA.
