We (My wife and I) purchased an 05 mini S this year we love it but have had problems with the seats and door latch, we found the seat fix on this forum yesterday It worked like a charm, this after a very expensive estimate over the phone, Thank you so much I'll be looking for the door fix now.

 

Congrats on your purchase...hope you find the perfect (free) solution to your door issue. Here's wishing you a long and fun motoring partnership...

 

Glad to hear forum got your fix, good luck on the door.
