Can anyone recommend or know of any companies that sell rain gaurds for the R58 Coupe? I'm sick and tired of driving in the rain and having the window slightly open and getting soaked from rain coming in. I like having my window open slightly for fresh cabin air. I've looked everywhere and I can't find any rain guards. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, who knows. Let me know your thoughts.

 

Hey..... it is an English sports car, don't expect too much about comfort LOL.

 

I have high expectations and I'm on a mission. lol

 

The coupe has a frameless window... So no matter where you look, u won't find rain gutters

 

I will have something custom made. **** it.

 

Have you found anything? I've been looking for rain guards as well....can't find any!!! Grrr.....

 

I suggest that you CALL Aaron at Outmotoring. If anyone has a line on who might make some it would be Aaron.

 

In fact, there is a rain guard in the the upper weatherstrip but it is mostly a joke.

We have to remember the Coupe top is just an add-on to the roadster body and nothing else but it fits the purpose.

 

As a prior poster indicated all rain guards require framed windows as it's the window frame that they attach to.

All gen 2 MINIs, except for the Countryman (and Paceman?) have frameless windows; thus no rain guards.

 

Since my 2009 then 2012 and now my 2014 I keep thinking I can make my own. You know, make a mold from the car, invert it and heat form or vacuum mold a plastic one. A whole lot of work not to mention what kind of plastic to use and how to attach to the body ??? (attaching seems solvable - sticky foam, magnets, or 3M VDG tape.) I've done small projects but not at all on this scale -eek.

I have measured and there does seem to be clearance so the door will open with the window up.
