Broken plastic piece on my top
My top came loose on the right (rear) side where it goes into the body. I was able to pull the fabric out to look at it and found there is a plastic piece sewn into the fabric. That piece somehow clips onto a rail of sorts to hold the top taut. I called my dealer, Cincinnati MINI, and there is an aluminum replacement for the plastic. They will replace both sides Monday, under warranty, and give me a car to drive around for the two hours or so it takes to fix.
Fortunately I have a great dealer. |
No one commented on this post so I assume none of you have had the problem...yet.
I took my MINI In today - to Cincinnati MINI - In 3 hours they replaced both the plastic pieces (one was broken, one not) which was all I asked for. FYI the repair kit is # 54-34-7-276-922. But they also flushed my brake fluid, performed a scope, changed the microfilter, checked the car over and washed it. They gave us a loaner to go to the mall and lunch. NO CHARGE...and everyone at the dealership treated us like they really value us as customers. |
Thanks for the update. Your dealer seems to care about your Mini, that is a rarity. My wife only has 1800 miles on her R57 but I will keep an eye on the top plastic pieces. Any other problems and what is the mileage on the car?

Almost 2 years and 27,000 miles, and from what I read on here, I must have one of the best dealers anywhere.
