Rear is for looks only, does not open or vent.

Welcome to MINI2 fellow SoCal MINI Motorer.

The back may not open, but the front opens way back. Great to have around LA. Enjoy.

I believe that they describe the front panel as the sunroof, but the rear as a Moon roof.... and aparantly moon roofs don't open....

Mabye MINI is trying to change the definition of sunroof/moonroof. A sunroof has always just been a solid partition that opens (at least in the US). If you had a glass sunroof along with an opaque slider, that was considered a moonroof. But nowadays, since the engineers have been able to fit the glass and the extra partition, all sunroofs seem to be moonroofs. Or course, MINI had to be different and have that perforated screen Which is a shame, by the way, because those with cloths seats will see their interior fade rather quickly.
1st MINI - Indi Blue '03 MCS - met the great carmaker in the sky.
2nd MINI - Chili Red '02 MCS - I'm being more responsible with this one
