Well while I was driving home in somewhat windy conditions part of my mini decided it didnt want to be attached to the car anymore and has gone...
Its the black cover thing that sits between the passanger window and the windscreen
I think its this part here http://www.minimaniauk.co.uk/web/Item/nmx1110/invDetail.cfm
The 'A' pillar? Is all I need to replace the cover and not the molded peice underneath?
Ive attached a pic
