WELL I WAS LOOKING AT THE MEXICO SITE FOR MINI AND SEEN UNDER THE ACCEORRIES AREA A PIC OF A MIN WITH A SOFT OPENING SUNROOF...PIC IS A MOVING ONE SHOWING IT OPENING AND CLOSING?..HMMMM KINDA NEAT..WONDER IF THIS IS JUST FOR THE MEXICO MARKET?? :smile:

 

Soft Sunroof? Not in America.

 

I've got a couple of pics of this.
I'll try to post them here in a bit.

PS. Actually... these pictures surfaced about 4-5 months ago.... funny thing... Not one person noticed the soft roof. Everyone was discussing the car and not the roof.

 

hehehehe...I remember Sfiveten.

So, is it offered as an option in Mexico?

 

well i guess you could kinda call it the "Herbie the Love Bug" roof...cause it seems to look just like that one..do we all remember that one as a kid..or am i just making it know how old i am , which is 35 BTW

 

You can probably still get a Webasto sunroof on a new MINI, aftermarket. They made the best folding cloth ones in the old days, and still do, I believe. They are REALLY big when opened.

ya..is that what they are called?....well I think they look kinda neat.....but to each his own :smile:

 

I saw a "soft top" when I was looking at access in the AC Scnitzer web site.(german) It looks like they can install.

Soft Roof Cooper

Sorry it took me a bit to get this up.

Personally I think this looks great!

Happy Motoring,

That looks pretty good. I wonder about durability.

 

I kinda like it....reminds me of the old beetle rag-tops (vans too if memory serves correctly)...I am also wondering about durabilty and a possible shade like what comes with the sunroof now. Oh yea, and the most important part, how much $$?

 

The rag top looks ok.....but I will stick with my current sunroof....just my pref.

 

I previously owned 2 Le Car's very similar roofs. I prefer the glass sunroofs in my MINI. Cooper S is ordered without a sunroof on purpose. Air brushing that White roof should be a lot of fun.
