Hi!
Someone has promised availability this July..
NO NEWS? BAD NEWS?...
In Spain any new about it... an I'm very happy with my cart with boot exception... looking for DIY options, but i dont know how to support a wood if dont have the plastic pieces around the boot...
Sorry for my spanglish..!

 

I'm picking up mine from the dealer Monday I'll keep u posted. The parts department said its a easy install also. I'll post a pic when I have it in hand.

 

OHHHH!... Really good news.. I hope in Europe will be avalable soon... Monday i call .. DONT FORGOT PICs PLEASE?...
Price info???
Thanks!

 

Hi!... you promise a pic!!! please.. share experience...!

 

Sorry about that, they have half the option here in the US. They had the floor but know way to install it yet, so I'm still waiting. Take a peek at the below thread, there are pictures of the floor and me going back and forth with a couple members. So all in all im still waiting.

Thanks... really crazy!.... i still waiting for the end of the floor tale... (i hope it will be a happy end tale! and not the never ending tale!

 

Any news?

 

Nope talked to parts yesterday and he's still waiting on my part.
I'm going to stop by and see if the part was at least given a part number.

 

I have this option in my CM, while it does make the rear "flat" it is still not level as the seats do not fold down entirely. Just letting you guys know.

 

Less, please post a part # if you get one, thanks

 

There are hoops under the plastic caps on the outsides of the rear seats. Snap them off and use a strap to crank down the seats. The can be pulled essentially flat. Pics in my gallery.

I sure will, didn't get a chance to get up there today so hopefully Monday I'll get up there. Some little monster made off with one of my driving light covers, so I need to go pick another up.

 

Ok took a trip to the parts department and the parts are on order. Heres the parts they are ordering.

51 47 9 808 166 Pad floor carpet, Right
51 47 9 808 165 Pad floor carpet, Left
51 47 9 808 164 Storage Tray Insert, Right
51 47 9 808 163 Storage Tray Insert, Left

What all this stuff is remains to be seen, ill just have to wait and see.
And they keep reassuring me that I can install it myself, the saga continues.

 

Nick I know but the little lady hates the gap between the seats, she thinks some magical object is going to fly thru the gap and hit the babys. And I like to keep my stuff covered in the well compartment, hence my delima. But hopefully all will be well soon.

 

right on Less thanks alot, my parts guy "needs" the part numbers so he thanks you for doing his job for him as well, total approx $250?

 

I don't have a clue how much its going to be, I forgot to ask. I also forgot one piece the floor.

51 47 9 808 162 This is the floor. It ran me about $170.00.

 

If you're just worried about the gap in the seats, here's how i store my rubber boot mat, slips neatly between the back of the seat and the top cover, nothing can get thru. also works as a cover when the seats are down!

Doesn't look to bad, but we will see. I'll let you know when all the stuff comes in.

 

I talked to my MA the other day and he said retro-fitting the flat load floor to my Feb. build would run about $500, but he said there is a kit that's going to be coming out soon that will be more..uh...reasonably priced.

 

And you believe him?

I have $3.7 million in a Nigerian bank account, but the government has frozen it because I bought a Countryman. If you send me $500K to bribe an official to release my money, I'll pay you back and give you $500K to thank you. Let me know.

Sealy - Who would look like a Smurf if he held his breath while waiting for MINI to get anything together.

 

Hopefully I'll find out next week what all this will cost me.
The rest of my stuff should be in then and I'm not holding my breath.

Sealy playing the "DOZENS" again.

 

Ok this saga is a pain in the you know what!!! I picked all the pieces up on Monday and removed the molding on the sides and the back of the boot. Then put on the new pieces. Well it didnt work out, after puting the new pieces on theres nothing to screw the support brackets into. So the only solution is to make my own holes and wait for the nuts and screws to come from germany. I wish I coluld take apart a countryman with the floor and see whats behind there. Take a peek at the link and you may be able to get some idea what the heck Im talking about.
But it looks like if you dont have the floor already its going to be a pain to get it installed. But ill keep you posted, Im waiting to hear back from the parts guy for some other solutions.

Oh my god! don't try this option was a BIG MISTAKE... I hate the complexity for repair this mistake...
I like my car.. but i don't understand MINI boot philosophy..
Less2 :Thanks for the pictures... that illustrates this never ending history,,,

 

I ordered mine from the factory. It came already installed and I've had no problems with it.
