2006 cooper s convertible boot latch switch

95,000 miles

The latch on the boot stopped working. The toggle switch locks and unlocks the doors with no problem.
The only way I can open the boot is to collapse the rear seats and pull the emergency latch.
Removed the trim on the boot.
Took it to the steelership & they said the small black switch is dead & the whole piece needs to be replaced.
$485 painted or $375 in chrome.

My quetion, where can I but a replacement switch ($10?)?

It appears that spicing in a replacement switch would not be difficult and less $ than replacing the whole trim.

Really appreciate your advice
thank you

Out Motoring has 16,000 parts in their system and many are in their warehouse. You can also check out ECS as their guy that handles MINIs has a vert and is the MINI Vert Guru.

Yep, I am back from vacation and here to help.

Some people operate on it. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-warranty.html

R56 version of the DIY microswitch. I have not seen this work on the Gen 1 MINI yet. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ing-diy-3.html

But you are missing the little rubber gasket? If so it will get water in there and corrode the whole handle.
