Yep looks like back in 2021 the price changed and went up, then it went up really high again, most places now set at ~$1,000. We are able to get a better price for a small amount of stock. I dont know if they will go down again. With MINI most prices just get higher on older parts till NLA.

I have followed the videos and replaced the cassettes from ECS tuning. However, after re-assembling everything, I cannot get the top to lift off the front latches. I press the 'open top' button and the sunroof fully opens. I press the 'open top' button again and the latches disengage from the windshield pillar but nothing happens. After a few seconds the 'close top' button starts flashing.
I have checked the parcel shelf and it is fully seated, checked to make sure I have fluid in the hydraulic reservoir, and the fuses look good. What else can I check? I brought it to a mini mechanic and he said they don't mess with stuff like this and he could replace the whole top for $4k, but it was working when I started this whole process. I appreciate the help!
