MINI Roadster: Manual
convertible top
General information
The fully automatic convertible top provides
protection from the weather, combined with
simple and easy operation.
Here are some helpful tips for getting the most
enjoyment out of your MINI Roadster:
> It is recommended that you close the con-
vertible top whenever the vehicle is parked.
The closed convertible top not only protects
the vehicle interior from damage due to
unforeseen bad weather, but also provides a
certain degree of protection against theft.
Always keep your valuables inside the
locked luggage compartment, even if the
convertible top is closed.
> Do not mount any roof rack systems on the
convertible top.
Do not leave a wet convertible top open
for more than one day, since the humidity
may cause damages.
