Do I have an antenna? Justacooper 06, Royal grey and silver roof. Would like to order a car cover before the car arrives (which the old thread helped me determine that the NOAH cover is a good one), and I'm not sure if the silver roof spoiler deal has the little antenna or if the spoiler is a concern. Wow, terrible sentence structure this evening, sorry guys.

 

Huh?

 

Do I have an antenna?
doesn't every MINI have an antenna?

 

Almost...

'03-'04 MINIs with NAV had a shark fin...

 

Um... forgive me but: could you not just look at your car?

 

You know that foot long flexible stick near the rear of the roof Some people say it gives the car a RC car look.

 

Spoiler should not be a problem. It doesn't stick out much and all MC's have a spoiler of one kind or another, so the bag should fit around it.

Many bags have a little hole for your antenna. One work-around if it doesn't is to replace the big antenna-lookin' thing on top of your car with one of the fancy little antennas in a plastic fairing. Look for replacement antennas in the threads and you'll see some pictures of them. I'm told they're similar to the ones on some Honda cars like the S2000 or Element.

Good luck, --doug

 

Thanks, guys. No, I couldn't look at my car because i don't have it yet, and my MA wasn't getting back to me, and I didn't know if all cars have antennas and if all custom car covers have room for them because I've seen so many variations. Thank you, Doug, for your help. Billy should be arriving so so so soon Happy motoring.

 

Yes, 2006 MINIs have antennas. If you order a MINI car cover, it is actually designed for MINIs, including those with spoilers, antennas, etc.
