| Convertible won't close When I try to put the top down on my 2005 Cooper convertible it only retracts the sun roof (first phase) and when I press the button to lower the top the light blinks and nothing happens (no clicking, no sound from the motor, etc.). I got the car 6 months ago and it worked fine until about a month ago. Country: United States Make: Mini Model: Cooper Year: 2005 Already Tried: Rolling the windows down BEFORE trying to open the convertible top  |

| The first thing to check is the parcel shelf microswitch - have you lifted the parcel shelf from its low position, as that prevents the roof from working? This certainly is required for my Gen 2 convertible and from the parts diagram it looks like your Gen 1 has the same switch (inside the boot/trunk, operated by an extension to the left end of the shelf). One hood requirement that caught me out is that the boot/trunk must be shut for the hood to go down. |
