MINI missed this one on the convertible

Does anyone like to be able to drop the windows individually? - I do and it's not possible to have one side up with the other side down (in pairs). Sometimes passengers prefer their windows up. Unfortunately the rear windows only work as a pair

I miss this option from previous convertibles.

Actually sometimes they don't work as a pair but it's random.

Not sure what you mean. The back windows operate in pairs but the front are individual?

the front are individual and the rears operate in tandem, but, sometimes they don't, ie only one will go down or up see here

Yeah, it's one of the exciting aspects of owning a MINI Cabrio - you never quite know how many windows will move when you press the buttons!

Funny thing is - on the MINI this appears to be regarded by customers as a "feature" that they can live with - but if this was some other lesser car, it would be a very different matter....

The rear windows work as a pair only??? That's really strange!

The windows in mine make for a really fun game of "window bingo"

Press the button, see how many come up!

I'd have thought press the right button in the right way and everything goes up
