Cooper flags is please to annouce our perforated sunroof covers. Beat the heat this summer with these stylish covers that will still allow full use of the sunroof without fear of it coming off at high speeds. All pieces are pre-cut for exact fit on the sunroof. No cutting is needed.

Retail Cost is $119.00 and mention you heard about this on MCO and we will take care of the shipping.

Inside looking out

UJ

USA


We have many other colors and styles available for sale and will have more pictures to post soon.

Matt!

Looks great! How about rear side panels? I was thinkin' a flack perfed panel would look nice and even.. eliminating the "edge" seen when tinted.

When will CooperFlags.com get an update?

PS did you get my email about my flag order?

I'm a little confused about your terminology. Does 'sunroof covers' imply that they are somewhat removable? What's involved with putting them on/ taking them off?

Mini-Matt,

Bitchin' graphics. the sunroof flags look great. Especially appreciate the interior to exterior photo showing the "invisibility" of the application. I'll probably be ordering one soon.

Now comes the hard part, UJ or Ole Glory?

Can you update the website with pics of these? I want to see what would look great on my black topped car and are these just static clings or permanent?

The web-site should be updated in a few days. The entire site will get some new upgrades within the next month.

These are permanent graphics, unlike static cling they can not be removed and reused. The good thing is in the summer months your head won't bake due to UV rays and your MINI will stay cooler. In humid climates like Florida and Texas the static cling won't always stick.

Why a traditional flag Zak?

Throw a custom design up there!
If you have an idea, I'm sure CooperFlags can make it happen....

Mmmm... Moire would be proud. Don't try this on a trinitron folks!

But seriously, these things look fantasitic! I'm curious how all those little holes deal with dirt though? Do you have any plans to offer a solid opaque sunroof flag? I think that'd be pretty "cool" for us Arizona folk.

Thought that's why I have a sunscreen front and back.

What would be involved if I wanted to remove the decal? Would it be a bad idea to put it on with the intention of taking it off at the end of the summer> Would the sunroof be ruined?

Vespa -we have a solid white and a solid black version available for those that do not want a design, but still want the benefits.

SkAlex - To remove apply some direct heat and pull from the edges. There will be no damage to the sunroof and if there is any adhesive residue it can be cleaned up with Windex.

Mighty Miniz-We have the rear side window covers also -the set is $175.00 and they are also pre-cut for a perfect fit out of the box. Any of our standard designs can be imprinted on them also. I should have pictures of these installed ion a BRG in about a week.

Can you get it with the US flag flying properly. as in your sig, Matt?
And, now that I look closer, the flags appear to be missing large parts, as if they were the full sized roof graphics with the edges trimmed. Will they be available, scaled for the sunroof? I want 50 stars and 13 stripes on my flag! :smile:

LOL! Funny that ol' glory seems to be orientated toward the British side of the car! And yeah, I'd like at least 49 stars here in Arizona.

Matt: What I meant was non-perforated but with the design.

acetonic - good observation. All the US flags coming out today have all 50 stars and are orientated correctly on the vehicle. We ran a couple through production before realizing what we had done. The UJ and the US will have the full flag on the sunroof portion.

Vespa - YES, we can give you the sunroof only portion in a solid graphic if you like.

Several people have asked if we have the sunroof cover avaiable in the Silver and Black versions of the US or UJ flag and the answer is YES.

I have one of Matt's new pref. sunroof covers in the state flag of Texas(its the prototype), It looks really good on my PS/BLK MC and I get complements on it constantly. The best thing is that it works! it cuts the heat coming through the glass. and you can still see up through it to a good degree. I was careful and did the install by myself in about 40 min.Had it on approx 1 month and had no problems with it in washing or driving ect. I totally recommend this product for any of you with the sunroof.

You said that you have pure White Preforated covers? do you have any pictures of that on a car with a white roof? I wanna kind of hide the sunroof, and help keep the heat out. I think that making it white would look pretty good. Also I think some one higher asked how it is to clean them but we never saw an answer and I'm just curious about that..

Thanks

I cant tell you what a 1000psi spray wand will do if you aim it to try and get an edge to lift ,its quite resistant to all but purposefull attempts to peel it up (STRONG ADHESIVE!)....but I wash my mini by hand anyway....so there is no difference in washing with or without the preforated sunroof cover. and a third of the Tx flag one I have is white.....car wash mitt or a sponge is what I use.There is a clear layer on top of the preforations...so its not little open holes to trap dirt.

Couple of questions for people?

Can you remove the cover and then put it back on later or is this a one time only deal?

I would like to take my car to shows once I get it and having a couple of different covers to use for different shows would be cool.

Can custom covers be made to order? I mentioned once that there are som cool classic paintings I would like to put on my roof so could a cover be made of a painting I gave them a high quality print?
