I have a 2011 with the sunroof and just got some zippee shades for when it's out in the sun. Well, I just noticed the front panel is about the same size as the rear panel. I remember on pictures I had seen that the front panel was larger than the rear. The picture on the zippee shade also shows this. So, did MINI change the size of the front and rear panels on later models?

 

Been the same since 2007. I think the older ones had a larger front window.
