Pleeese helllp,

Thats a relief I was waiting for someone to reply cos Im thinking of doing the same thing....so could you let me have details of how to do it ?
Cheers

Thought that somebody might have the same problem so heres the solution.
First of all make it easy by having the roof back and the back seats folded down.
At the back of the headrests there is a small plug pop that out with a small flat screw driver, you will now see a screw that holds the headrest on,( here in Australia the screw head is an unusual one so I dont know what it is called but luckily I had the right tool from a previous job, the screw head looks like a six pointed star) undo the screw to remove the headrest. Inside, up the top where the headrest sits you will find two clips prise open the cover by using a screw driver to release the two clips, at this stage I asked for some help it is easier to get one person to release while the other person is prising, with a bit of force (not too much) you can open the bottom cover enough to release the cover you want to replace prise the old cover open by using a screw driver (the first one I removed got a bit damaged the second time I didnt damage the cover at all but damage probably didnt matter because I discarded the old covers anyway) then simply snap the new covers in place.
Hope this helps cheers

Gus,
thanks for the info .

hello there.. i have bought a mini cooper convertible and it has come without the chrome roll bar ... i was told initially that it was part of the interior chrome pack but apparantly it is part of the exterior chrome pack...aaaah !!
now i am seeking to have the roll bar chrome covers.. the dealership told me that this would take them FOUR HOURS.. and would cost nearly £400??? wow. i was stunned.. how can that be justifiable??? when the chrome covers slimply snap on ?? or is there more to it?? am i missing something ??
