MINI Roadster: semi-auto‐
matic convertible top
General information
The fabric convertible top combines reliable
weather protection with simple and convenient
operation.
To ensure that you will continue to enjoy your
MINI Convertible, here are a few tips:
▷ It is advisable that you close the convertible
top when you park the vehicle. Not only
does the closed convertible top protect the
vehicle interior against unanticipated
weather damage, it also offers a certain
amount of theft protection. However, even
when the convertible top is closed, valua‐
bles should only be stored in the locked
cargo area.
▷ Do not attach roof rack systems to the
convertible top.
Safety notes on the convertible top
▷ At temperatures below +14 ℉/-10 ℃,
do not move the convertible top or
else damage could result.
▷ Do not leave the convertible top open for
longer than one day while it is wet; other‐
wise, damage could be caused by the mois‐
ture.
▷ Do not place any objects on the convertible
top; otherwise, they could fall during oper‐
ation of the convertible top and cause
damage or injury.
