Yea, never saw that. And it looks like you have the original windshield because you have the MINI Roadside assistance sticker still there.
On the back side they have clips, check the top one. Left (driver side) 51137272583 and right (passenger side) 51137272584

I had same problem
I had the same problem on the passenger side. They replaced a clip or two at the dealer under warranty. It still doesn't fit as well as the one on the driver side. I wonder if you lean on the pillar real hard if it could break a clip. I have no idea how mine broke. The car was only a couple of months old when it happened.

Production issues maybe with installation on the R57's? I know the R57 have that upper rubber stripe that can get in the way on install if you dont watch, looks like it might have caught a little bit of it on the front.

I had that on the car on just bought (windshield was replaced at some point) and the cover literally flew off on me at 110mph on the freeway...scares the crap out of you as it hit the drivers side window and sounded like a gun shot.
replaced it with the new part from mini along with the foam cover under it and snaps and even the new one is a little bowed out at the top.
my advice would be to fix it now before you too get the crap scared out of you when it flys off and hits the window lol

Thanks everyone for posting, search results brought me right here... part now ordered.
Any tips on properly re-installing it?
