water dripping in my mini

Hi all,

I have a 05 mini convert. I bought it used. I love it but when it rains and I open the door and or windows rain pours in by the top front corner of the windows.
Any suggestions, or anyone have the same problem.

Thanks,
bb100

I have an 07 that has the same problem, when ever it rains water comesin when opening the door, see if the windows can be adjusted. I will have my SA try this for me when I go for the first service.

Every ragtop I have ever owned has done this - nature of the beast - no rain gutters.

Yup, same here. At least you don't have any rain coming in AFTER you close the doors or put the windows up, now that would be a problem.

I also have to add, this is the best sealed soft top I've ever owned. Even in a high pressure car wash, I get hardly a drop or two inside the cabin.

concur

ragtops since 1973 .... if it don't leak now, wait for tomorow.

No rain gutters means water finds more ways to end up in your lap!
