Omg I am in the very early stage of separating from husband, first thing to go wrong was I couldn’t get the top down, I know it sounds daft but I burst into tears thinking I will never cope as a single parent… then I found this video and it boosted my confidence! I feel like I will be ok! Thank you KZbin stranger ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Hindsight101]

Happy to help

[@karenseaton9079]

Thank you SO much. Was ready to take car to auto electrician and this worked straight away. So happy, you’re a star, thank you!!!! 🙏🏻

[@user-zw9fl6wn5c]

OMG, it worked!!!!!I had already gone to an expert, luckily they were booked out until end of June! Next step was to go to the dealer!!$$$ I watch this short video and went out to my car to try it!!! Thank you, you saved me a ton of money!😀

[@Hindsight101]

Wonderful!

[@JonathanLaSalle]

Thank You for this video. I am a new Mini Cabriolet owner and couldn't understand why the convertible wasn't working. Watched your video and fixed it. Very useful.👍

[@Hindsight101]

Awesome

[@james3339]

I always thought it was because of the heat in Florida that I had issues Anyhow, I moved my car into the shade waiting for it to cool down. The top would still not come down. I did a KZbin search, and your video saved the day. Something in the trunk was preventing my top from working? Crazy Thank you

[@Hindsight101]

Awesome 👍

[@luzdelrey9672]

Thank you so much!!! My top was stuck for like a year i though it was a sensor. Didn’t have money to take it in and this just fixed it. You’re amazing!!!!

[@Hindsight101]

You're welcome

[@andreadrever1073]

Oh my god, my convertible top hasn't gone down in YEARS! (I have a pristine 2006 red cooper S convertible.) Thanks to you, I just fixed it in TEN SECONDS!! Whoooohooo, thank you so much!!!!

[@Hindsight101]

Great to hear!

[@MaureenMaguire-ip3ev]

Mini top wouldn’t retract, found this vid and went to work! Was discouraged to find nothing amiss with the handles or grey shelf in the back but I guess just moving the shelf seated it better and the top went down like a charm. Happy motoring!

[@Hindsight101]

Awesome

[@TheBigBetBoff]

I checked and made sure that the buttons were pressed and the latches were down. And it’s still not going back but I am getting a flashing light. Is there anything else I can do?

[@Hindsight101]

Sorry not sure

[@vikkilepou4656]

What about if it is stuck in the down position? Any suggestions?

[@Hindsight101]

It might be the same issue

[@covidcarl7480]

should retitle it the year. doesn't apply to mine but thanks for putting info out.

[@Hindsight101]

@@covidcarl7480 good point I'll will

[@Bluenose664]

Mine doesn’t have the board in the back. Can I use something else to press the button ??

[@Hindsight101]

I am not sure. You would probably have to DIY something

[@KillersWalkFree]

Omg it was this simple the whole time?!? 😂

[@Hindsight101]

Lol yeah it's a really bad design but that's my opinion

[@tyson543]

My top is closed and still says retractable top not locked...and the top wont move at all when pressed. Whats wrong??

[@Hindsight101]

Not sure

[@KeishaBarrow-ng6qe]

This has not fixed the problem for me. Can anyone suggest anything else I can try?
