Cabrio Problems

Does anyone have a list of problems with the Cabrio that the dealer can not fix yet?

I have 3.

1. Scratches on side rear windows
2. Rattle in passenger and driver side windows. Dealer said they have no fix for that yet as they can not put anything in between the window and door because it is too tight as is.
3. A trim pc. that is part of the roof that comes undone and just hangs there and rattles like crazy. That is one reason to keep the top down! They are on 3 weeks on this one at Classic Mini and they are dumbfounded like usual.

Anymore?

I have problem #1, but no one but me notices it and i hardly care - more concerned about the chips in the windscreen and waiting for the OEM Sirius antenna!

I guess I am lucky

I really only have one small issue so far with my Cabrio S. The trim piece under the roof on the right side pops up when I raise the top. I can pop it back in place but it comes loose each time the top is raised. Hopefully my dealer (MINI of Towson) can fix this at the first scheduled service.

I do notice some marks on the top when it is raised after being down for a while but doesn't seem to be wear at this point, just a slight marking of the material.
