Hello all, I have owned my Lovely Old Girl since 2015 as only her 3rd carer. She is a 1.3L British Open Limited Edition Cooper in British racing green and I love her! She was first registered in 1993 in Germany, and made it to Spain in her first year where she stayed until I took over her care. I think she needed a rest from the previous owners whose family had enjoyed her to the full, which is great. But now she is having some more TLC. To that end I am looking to replace the mechanics of her sliding soft top sunroof. The original has finally given up from years of good service in this sunnier part of the world. Anyone know anywhere/anyone that might sell the parts? I have some mechanics on stand by who cannot wait to help me look after her....

Haynes Manuals tell me that this is beyond their scope, and Mini Spares tell me that they haven't seen availability on such parts for many years now.... fingers crossed some lovely people here can offer some sound advice?

Many thanks.

Webasto roofs are a specialist job, a normal mechanic wouldnt entertain it imo
