    Omg I am in the very early stage of separating from husband, first thing to go wrong was I couldn’t get the top down, I know it sounds daft but I burst into tears thinking I will never cope as a single parent… then I found this video and it boosted my confidence! I feel like I will be ok! Thank you UA-cam stranger ❤❤❤❤❤

    Thank You for this video. I am a new Mini Cabriolet owner and couldn't understand why the convertible wasn't working. Watched your video and fixed it. Very useful.👍

    Thank you so much for this, I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what was wrong until you mentioned a little button in the trunk, that was my issue and no other video I saw covered that, thank you

    Mine doesn’t have the board in the back. Can I use something else to press the button ??

      I am not sure. You would probably have to DIY something

      Same thing bo shelf in mine. Only thing that I see as a switch gets pressed slightly when the bar on left of returned to normal position. But even with pressed it won't go down

    I always thought it was because of the heat in Florida that I had issues
    Anyhow, I moved my car into the shade waiting for it to cool down. The top would still not come down. I did a UA-cam search, and your video saved the day.
    Something in the trunk was preventing my top from working? Crazy
    Thank you

    Thanks Derrick. Boot lid was slightly bent so not pressing the switch down properly. Working a treat now!

    Mini top wouldn’t retract, found this vid and went to work! Was discouraged to find nothing amiss with the handles or grey shelf in the back but I guess just moving the shelf seated it better and the top went down like a charm. Happy motoring!
