R52 cooper convertible shattered rear window
Hi purchased a 2005 Mini Cooper convertible just last Saturday and have gone out this morning to discover the rear windscreen shattered. I am absolutely gutted and have quickly established that I may need not just the screen replaced but the whole roof.
Has anyone got any advice or heard or similar cases thanks! I can't believe I am having to join the forum under such a cloud as was loving my new car until this morning..... |
Hello Sarah,
The top is part of the rear glass. It has to be replaced with a new top if OEM MINI. I have not heard of a top being offered separately. Your would have to claim it under the insurance and then work with them , but the part numbers are below. The 11 digit part number is the MINI OEM part number. There are genuine replacement tops: I take it your have a R52 2005 MINI Convertible ( this will work For Gen 1 : R52 2005 -2008 MINI Convertibles ) http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/ES158723_ES158724_ES158725/ What color top did you have? There is Black , Blue, and Green. You will also need the fastening kit. http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/54347162750/ The tops include the integrated rear glass. Thanks and good luck, you will either need a MINI dealership or a good body shop that deals with convertible to do it right. |
Just read your sad story. What's even sadder is the way Mini Corporate (BMW) has found ways to screw the Mini owners when apparent simple replacement part work is needed. I hope you have found a resolution to your predicament.
The other concern you must have is parking the car overnight. This could happen again under similar circumstances. Rich Summerville, SC |
