Well, it's kind of a toss-up whether having the rear wiper is a true benefit or not.

If the dirt begins to solidify, the blade just scratches the glass instead, resulting in creating more work while detailing it.

The rear mudflaps can help, but they do req that you replace the wheel trim so they can be installed on an S.

And there are two washer reservoirs, one for the front and one for the rear. They are located on either side of the engine by the wheel arches.

Easy fix.


Just move. I hear Phoenix doesn't get much precipitation.

You know that supposedly this annoyance is not present on the second gen MINI?

At least that's what I read on a MINI ad the other day...

At least on my 02 MCS one is for the front/back washer and the other is for the headlamp washers!
