Thanks greenlaner.

Hi mike!

I bought my mini in UK last year. the problem is that the deflector assembly is curved, but the edge of my roof is straight. For that reason, it doesn't fits well.
In foromini, someone told me that possibly the metal edge of the roof, was oxidized, and possibly the previous owners replaced it with a straight edge and then, they re-upholstered it. Could it be?
Does anyone know if there is any company that sells some straight deflector?

thanks you very much

I think the deflector you have is for the later Webasto Hollandia roof. The British Open Classic roof is an earlier design.
