Anybody know if there is a cover that just goes over the top; something that stops at the beltline? It might be easy enough to put on & take off that I'd be willing to deal with it on a daily basis. D'Mini sleeps in the garage at night, but sits in the sun 5 days a week. That has to take a huge toll on the fabric.

 

My cabrio sits outside 24x7 (just as my Z4 did for 3+ years). You'd be surprised how solid these tops are. I wouldn't worry so much about it; I doubt covering it will extend its life. Just occasionally clean it and spray it with Ragg Top (or some fabric protector) and avoid taking it through a car wash that sprays wax or harsh chemicals all over the car.

 

I've seen them for sale, but have yet to buy one:

check this one from moss http://www.mossmini.com/Shop/ViewPro...eIndexID=39373

it's on my to buy list.

 

Because of that stupid cat climbing on my car I ordered one from mini mania. It was backordered but is supposed to be here for early June.

 

That's the one

 

I got one from my mini dealership, etched on the cover is a parking ticket and a wheel clamp LOL!!!!! I haven't taken it out of the package yet, but when I do i'll post a photo on here. It's really cute!!! oh, but this covers the entire car, not just the convertible top. I think that the mini catalog at the dealerships has just a convertible top cover?! Also check ebay

 

I park in a carport at night and was finding cat prints every morning along with the cat "marking" my windshield.
Now I cover Winnie with an old quilt, and have it sprinkled with Cayenne Pepper. I see the cat walking around my car but has never ventured up. I think that stupid cat can smell it.
On the nights I'm too tired, guess what's back in the morning?

 

That's a real pisser!!! lol... sorry, I had to.. but I would NOT be happy AT ALL if this happened to me!!! Maybe you can spray some of that "no go" stuff on Winnie??? But i'm not sure what that will do to Winnie

 

will this work on a coupe? my R53's windows are not tinted so it gets really hot inside the car when it's under the sun for a few days (NVM, just saw the part # for coupes in Moss' site)

 

The link for the one Moss has shows they make them to fit coupes, cabrios, and clubmans (clubmen?).

 

I was going to suggest asking around at a local boating shop, because there are companies that custom-build covers for any configuration you can think of, but it would be hard to beat that Moss cover for $60.

 

Not to mention the fact that for $59 that includes shipping. Not used mine long enough to give feedback but, just below this right now, is a thread asking for some long term feedback on these that I started.

 

OK, Why is the clubmans (clubmen) price $5 less than the others? Is this the same as a women's swimsuit? Less material = less money?

 

Good question! I got no idea. Clubmans are the red headed step child of Mini's so maybe its a bonus?
