I enjoyed seeing all of the MINI's covered with snow a few weeks back. Then, I started hearing about roofs collapsing on buildings, and I wondered if anyone that had several feet of snow on top of their MINI found any unpleasant surprises when the snow was removed.

Did anyone have to give Billy Mays a call and order the Ding King?

See ya,
JS

Someone posted earlier this winter saying that after a hailstorm (reasonably small hail by the way, not golf-ball sized), their roof was totally covered with prominent dings. Thread title was something like "aluminum foil roof?". I think someone else even posted that acorns had dinged their roof. So, apparently the roof is not one of the MINI's strong points.

Note to all the "problem thread" people: I am mentioning TWO people here. Two. Out of tens of thousands of MINIs sold so far. Chill out.

Nope - no snow damage here in VA and with the amount of snow we've had this winter, we're all saying "Where's Summer"???
