Forgive me if someone has seen a similar post before, and feel free to point me in the right direction. I have an 06 cabrio (october build I think). The other day I decided to use the key nook, but I couldnt find it. I can see a little door, but it seems to be more of a access door to a body bolt and I can reach around the plactic and feel the other side of the door. Is it just a matter of getting my MINI on a lift so that I can see it? Or is the key nook only on the hatchaback? Thanks

 

Key nook? What's that?

Hum...something NEW we didn't know about???

I suspect they are talking about the space under the car in front of the rear wheel-well...a small ledge in the structure that can serve as a key stash. I remember reading about it in some unofficial-MINI guide some time ago.

Perhaps on the Cab this area is boxed for rigidity?

 

The cabrio has the same key nook as the tintop, but it's only a small ledge with a VERY short lip around it. It's not a secret compartment with a door, and anything left in there would quickly bounce out if you drove away.

Hmmmm, That one is news to me...

 

Wesmonster, thanks for the clarification. I guess I was hoping that it would be an enclosed box. THAT would have been cool.

 

Sssssshhhhhhh .....

Aw, now everyone knows!

 

Is it just me or does the guy in that pic look like he is about to steal that car? He looks guilty to me.
