Greetings from San Antonio TX

Hi everyone, long time car enthusiast here with the majority of my time spent with BMW and now Lotus and Mini's. Bought a brand-new Mini convertible for my wife this summer and now just bought an R58 S to commute back and forth to work. Looking forward to being part of this community and learn more about these fun cars, the modding began with the convertible (just some JCW wheels) and with the R58 with Borla exhaust, ECS coil overs, and who knows what else I may be doing soon, thanks!

Hello, new to this , so be decent please. Just purchased the spouse a 2004 smaller than usual cooper convertible, her fantasy car......my cracking bad dream!! Rooftop goes down, yet while attempting to close, just a single side appears to attempt to lift 🤔 Any ideas......please kindly please.

Nice and welcome!

Ahdyu - Check out the R52 section: They started here in 2005, vs 2004 outside the USA. Sounds like the hydraulic lift on one side might be leaking or stuck bend joint. Make a post in the R52 section. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...2005-2008-152/
