Thank you so much on this video, because I couldn’t get the roof to work on a Mini Cooper convertible, that I just bought, and I saw this video and checked the boot out and my roof, worked straight away. So thank you so much.
Enjoy the sunshine - maybe you got a bargain - they may have thought the roof was broken !
A big thank you in 2024 - went to collect something knowing I would need the roof down. Arrived to find roof would only go half way! About to give up, I googled and found your explanation and 5 mins later - furniture was in the car and I was on my way home! Lifesaver - thank yooooou ☺️
You are welcome… making use of the generous headroom in the convertible
You are a life saver! Got a Cooper sat on my drive, roof was stuck down, now it's sorted thanks to your video! Excellent job 👍
Motor on !
Thanks! Mine wasn’t opening for a month and fixed the problem because of this video. So simple, yet not obvious lol 😂
Glad it helped!
Amazing thank you, exact issue I had. Appreciate the short and concise video and fixed it in no time
THANK YOU!!! In lockdown . . . one of my few pleasures is driving with my roof down! I can now once again enjoy my guilty lockdown pleasure . . .THANKS
Absolutely brilliant tip, thanks guys, it took seconds to sort, when a roof goes wrong I think people just see £££ signs and don’t bother getting it sorted but tips like this are worth their weight in gold, i think I might bend the contact strip up a small amount to ensure of a positive contact continuously, that’s my tip
Good
Literally I had this EXACT problem after a rear-end, and the repair shop told me that water had leaked into the motor of the roof and that I would need to replace the motor!!! Took me 2 minutes to fix it after this video 😄
Fantastic! Wow, this is very, very, very helpful. For all you car owners of the Mini cooper and sun roof problems, you really need to watch this video First. Then watch the other videos to fix the sun roof hinges, motor, cables, etc. Did not know about the two hidden switches in the rear/boot. Thank you for explaining this and Great video.
You're very welcome!
Good video straight to the point. No useless chatter. Thank you
Just purchased a Mini Cooper to be told the roof is not working, watched this and guess what it ? It works, The man obviously hadn’t been pushing the button properly. Thank you this really helped 😊
Lucky Lucy !
@@simonjefferson now I’ve just got to try and pull a dent out with a plunger 🙄 🤞it works
Brilliant. Saved me a lot of head scratching and probably money too! Thank you 🙏
Glad it helped!
Whoever you are, thank you for the info and the video. I was so stress with the first its mechanical problem and paid a lot to fix it. When I found could not open the whole root I was devastated. Also I found that I put the top cover in a wrong way when it came off one day. I can open the roof fully now. Yay I am so happy. So check the position of that top cover of the boots too when the same problem comes up. Cheers ❤️❤️❤️
Glad it helped you.... just need some nice weather in the UK now to enjoy driving mine !
thank you so much, I was looking for a mechanic to open my mini cooper car hood which was stuck for over a year and most of them said no. I was more than happy to spend money on it.....you guys made my day with this video....god bless you
Great video, feel v lucky to have found it before surely spending loads at the garage. I called a Mini Cooper specialist who wanted me to book it in for a full diagnostic workover.
HEY MATE!!! Thank you, This was a true Pay it forward video and dumb luck I clicked it first. Found my roof broke on the way home first sunny day in forever. I didn't even know that there was a way to raise the upper part of the boot. Thank You again from the USA
You are most welcome... enjoy the nice weather !

Spot on resolution guessed it was something straight forward as clearly power was there as previous person mentioned didn't know levers were there to access parcel shelf ,that's a bonus . Mine has just had roof cleaned guess that's how it occurred. Thanks for video .
Thanks mate. Saved me a trip to the garage. Virtual beer on its way. 🍺
Thanks buddy - i am enjoying the beer right now !
T H A N K Y O U for posting this video. I had a 'mini' meltdown this morning when my roof wouldn't open when I needed to use the back. After watching this video it took me two seconds to get my roof working again. ✌️👍

Anyone know where to buy replacement foot mechanism? My girlfriends one has a foot on one side but no the other we need it on
Thanks, Mate!
Thank you I will see if that’s my problem
I hope it is !
Thank you so much.
Hello, my 05 Mini Cooper only retracts halfway. No red flashing light. I have tried resetting the latches and making sure the switches are being pressed.
Try and close the roof then disconnect the battery and reconnect after 10 mins - this may cause a reset and fix the issue
you guys are the best
Very helpful video!!
U deserve a fucking medal..thank u
Wow thank you!!!
Absolute hero
Excellent
My roof was working fine until a few months ago when I picked up a carpet cleaner and put it on the back seat. The roof was still closed at this point. A few minutes later, because it was a nice day, I decided to open the roof. However, I hadn't realized that the handle of the carpet cleaner was stopping the roof from retracting. As soon as I did, I obviously moved it and tried again. Nothing then and nothing since. It opens for the first part, but won't fold down. Any suggestions please?
Interesting - pretty sure it is linked to this parcel shelf switch
@@L663 I’ll have a look and hopefully that’s all it is. Thanks for the reply.
Thank you very much mate, it works now perfectly :)
Thanks for help really u help me thanks a lot 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Great video, thank you man
Gonna try this later
good luck
Great one!👌
Thanks 🔥
OH MY GOD THANK YOUUU
Is there a way to override/disconnect this sensor, I need to remove the parcel shelf and leave it out of the car but still want to operate the roof. thanks if you can tell me how to do this
Not sure but i guess you can bridge the wires if you can find them
Thank you !!!!
Worked a treat thank you :-)
Does any1 know if a 05 convertible roof will fit on a 04?
it,s not a problem at all , to fully open you have to have those levers in .that's the way it works
my gfs minis roof opens but doesnt get locked down.. it feeld like there is not enough pulling force..
What if it still doesn’t work?
Thank you
You're welcome
Cheers for that.😊
No problem
Muito Obrigado.. ótima dica! Thanks!
Top it works many Thanks
Hi, I'm having a nightmare!
so a year ago my mum's roof wouldn't release from the frame of the windscreen, The motor sounded but it would only move half an inch, I gave up as didn't want to burn the motor out.
So the other day I cleared the boot out and by chance I tried it again and it opened, well the sunroof bit did, I went to close it and it shut a little then stopped and the motor went quiet again just a single light click sound each time i pushed the button, I went through the window resetting and disconnecting battery and worked once a little then stopped.
So today after disconnecting the battery overnight I tried it again, firstly I did window alignment twice then tried the roof, it shut and reopened then stopped and the motor is making a loud buzzing noise and won't move when I try to move it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys.
Hey guys! I followed this video exactly and it’s still not working :( any thoughts?
This will not fix all issues - but is the most common failure mode ! if one of the motors etc has failed then this will not fix it ! sorry
Awesome video. But my light begins flashing after the Windows go down. What else could it be? My mini is an 06
Hi - not 100% sure - could be some contacts that check the rear windows are down is faulty ?
Thank you!!!!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Thank you soooo much
THANK YOU YOUUUUUUUUUU TUUUUUUBE...😂😂😂😂
Hello there..I'm in need of help and wondered if you were the man that just might be able to solve the problem. The boot on my 2010 Mini Cooper convertible is locked shut!! Prior to it locking shut I would be driving and then all of a sudden I would have a message on my dash on the round screen to say that the boot was open. I'd have to stop the car lock the car with the key fob a few times and it would eventually lock. Now it just won't open however many times I press buttons!! I'm thinking it might be an electrical fault...any ideas? Many thanks.
Hi - sorry not sure on this one - sound like some switch / sensor problem.
Long shot but you could disconnect the battery leave 10 minutes and reconnect - it can reset the body control ECU... as long as the battery is not in the boot !
thanks
