I dont know if its "the best", but its at least "Available" for a lot less than dealership money and uses Hartz cloth. https://www.autotopsdirect.com/Mini-...008-s/7895.htm

Google reviews are er, "mixed". There is also an entire green used roof including mechanism on ebay right now that would come in at under a $1000 after shipping, if you dont mind the previously enjoyed route.

Part number for the green fabric roof is 54347135292, Outmotoring will sell you one for $2k,https://www.outmotoring.com/folding-...ver-green.html

If you google the part number a few options come up, convenience varies depending on location I guess.

I've owned rag tops on and off since the mid 70's ...... Robbins is a VERY respected company for replacement tops

Robbins Auto Top makes 'em for MINI in green

their website has a link to find a seller/installer .....

We are checking on the Green from MINI and trying to see if they can get one for you. We have friend in MINI and can help out when needed. We go beyond the dealers most of the time. Robbins and Haartz (if you can get it) are other options.
