Ian, good catch!
I don't think that the mechanism has changed - it looks more like a different type of material and certainly a redesign of the roof cover - the seams are in different places. I would imagine that changing the seams would change the stress in the material and give a smoother look, especially if they have combined it with an upgraded type of cloth.

If you know how many MINIs you have you don't have enough ...
