I had just got back home form work and it was pouring with rain so got out the MINI convertible, locked it and went into the house. I started cooking dinner and could see my MINI sitting there in the rain looking very nice as usual :D
However, about an hour later as I was eating the wife looked out the window and shouted that the sunroof was open! I looked and sure enough the sunroof was open :aargh:
I ran out to check and it couldn't have been open for more than about five minutes as there was only so much water on the seats and only a few drops on the centre arm rest. I put the key in and the sunroof closed from the half open position (luckily, it didn't fully open itself).
I've done a forum search and can see that the older MINIs have a special feature where the lock can get water in and the windows and sunroof open themselves.
However, this is a MINI Cooper SD Convertible 2012 - Has anybody heard of this happening at all? :confused:
For any unbelievers: I definitely didn't leave it open as it was raining heavily all the way back home, so it was never open at all.
I am really paranoid it's just going to open itself at any time now! Help!
