Does anyone know how to fix a mini cooper convertible top?
I haven't been in any accidents, but the top won't open. It will open the sun roof part of it but not the entire top. Will someone please help

It sounds like a problem with the frame and/or cable of the roof. I've heard a few examples of this happening in my time as an admin on a MINI forum, I've provided a link in the sources section for you. I hope you still have warranty! Reference:Thread on MINI2 forum concerning jammed roofs...


What year are you planning on getting? It really depends on what you're looking for in a car. The Mini Cooper is a great little car, it handles really well due to the way the platform is layed out; of course at the end of the day it's still going to have the tendency to understeer in stock form...

Why should I also consider these? X

As an extremely unique, classically styled, not inexpensive little open-air coupe, the MINI Cooper Convertible proves a challenge when finding a competitive set.

But the Ford Mustang Convertible pops to mind; while the Mustang's muscle car mission contrasts with the MINI's less-is-more ethos, the Mustang possesses style in droves and offers an exciting driving experience—with less fuel efficiency and more weight.

The Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible hews close to the classic Beetle's shape, but offers much more charm than it does fun driving dynamics.

Or if you yearn for a convertible but don't want to make the sacrifices of driving a soft top in winter, consider the Volkswagen Eos and its wonderful, tight retractable hardtop.

The Eos is neither that sporty-feeling to drive or particularly head-turning, though.

Finally, you could consider a classic roadster, such as the Mazda Miata.

Though it comes only as a two-seater, it's perhaps the closest to the MINI Cooper's lightweight joy, its controls and responses a seeming extension of the driver's wishes.
