As just getting my Mini, and a Mini being A mini there is a couple of things wrong, 1 being:

When driving at motorway cruising speed about 60-65, with the window down, air seems to get under the cloth, on the roof inside the car, and it eventually falls, and has to be pushed back up. HELP PLEASE !

Another problem, is the passenger door of my mini city, seems to be rusty inside and closing the door results in some rust falling out a gap, shall i buy some filler and fill the hole? HELP PLEASE :D

Just got my mini yesterday here is a quick pic ....

looks like the skins just become seperated.
A new skin should do.

Best bet is to reskin it or get someone to, that way you know it's solid.
