Just starting my future plans for a mini i have yet to buy and oone of my aims is to get it as light as possible so the first question is-

How do you attach a non metallic roof to a mini?

Yes, carbon fibre roof skins are often used, I'm sure you can get glass fibre ones too. You bond them on.

cool thanks for that.

By bonded what are we talking here? Is it a straight forward resin type affair or is there something more specific?

windscreen sealant would be fine, sikaflex or tigerseal. You can also get 2k sealers, very strong. Try a bodyshop supplier, Upol do a good one.
