Has anyone installed the Picnic Bench via a retrofit kit?
My wife really likes the Picnic bench but our Countryman didn't come with one. But it looks like Mini sells a retrofit kit. It looks pretty straightforward but I was wondering if anyone has installed this already. If so, any pointers?? If not I'll try to muddle my way through it and I'll post up my progress.
Thanks.

 

I would like to know if you can go the other way....from picnic bench to spare tire. Is that possible?

 

From looking at the retrofit kit, it looks like the picnic bench can be completely removed. It basically attaches to the underside of the truck floor with a few snap buttons. I can't confirm this for sure because I don't have the kit just yet. And I don't know if the factory installed version is any different.

 

Yeah. looks like you could just unsnap the thing if you dont want it...but would likely want to unscrew the buttons if you are reselling one.
