I recall someone posting about these window screens a while ago but can't find the thread. Has anyone had any luck in finding these in the US? If anyone can find part numbers I would greatly appreciate it!
Cheers,

My MINI is on its way accross the pond right now but someone posted those new numbers here a few weeks ago and I clipped them into my MINI notes file...
I did hear from someone who should know that mine (Built on the 12th of march) will have the new windscreen the quote from him about the new glass is interesting
"not specifically stronger, but more durable"

I think we are mixed up. Are you referring to the front window? I am asking about the accessory window screens you can put in the rear and rear side windows to reduce sun glare in the car. They are shown in the photo in the first post and clip into each window individually.
sorry for the confusion.
thanks,

Oh sorry I had not sussed that I thought you were talking about the new windscreen... I have not even heard of the sun screens untill now except for the folding sort you put inside the front when you park... those look interesting are they offical MINI?

averyocooper · Mar 19th, 2004, 03:20 PM

yep, they are official MINI. I got that photo off the german MINI site.

Doctor Wha has em!

I just ordered the side ones but the rear is apparently a euro/canadian part only.

Doctor Wha says:
"

Hi Avery,

Yes, they are indeed official MINI parts. Now, as Windy and I have
discussed, they are relatively new items, so your dealer may not even know
they exist yet.

Even if they do know about them however, technically, only the side
screens are listed in the BMW/MINI computers as "available in US." The
reas screen, for some umfathomable reason, is listed as Euro/Canada only.
So it has to be special-ordered from Der Fahzzerlahnd, and you'll be
waiting a while. I've been waiting for over a month for mine...

Anyway, here are the part numbers with which you will doubtlessly confuse
and amaze your parts staff:

Side Screens: 51 46 0 142 578
Rear Screen: 51 46 0 140 530

A note on the side screens: They come in pairs, with a transport/storage
bag, so don't let anyone convince you they need to order two of them! My
parts desk wound up with an extra set that way. You may also want to
remind the parts folks to make sure they have the installation istructions
sent as well, as they come separately, again for some unfathomable reason.

Good luck!
DW"

I have the side and rear screens for our baby in the back, fantastic. For the side screens you just "pop them in", you dont have to stick them in place (they come with sticky velcro fasteners". The rear screen should really be stuck in place with the velcro, but if not you only get a VERY small gap at the top of the screen.

monsta · Jun 2nd, 2004, 06:33 PM

Bought the side and rears from Ratty about a week ago - they're great

You can look at people in the rear view mirror and they can't see you

Paul · Jun 2nd, 2004, 07:05 PM

The only down side is when they're in, if you leave them in at night, the auto dimming rear view mirror doesn't work so well.

Some of us don't have that luxury

SteveM3 · Jun 2nd, 2004, 08:27 PM

Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder if the new law on light transmission thru windows that
is giving us problems with tints apply? It wouldn't stop me buying them but if
mikeythemini was to fit them will he become a category A prisoner

averyocooper · Jun 3rd, 2004, 12:58 AM

i ordered the side screens in the US but had to get the rear screen ordered from a canadian dealer. hopefully it will clear customs.

The law only affects windows/glass that is ahead of the "b" pillars.

averyocooper · Jun 15th, 2004, 09:52 PM

i got my rear screen from my vancouver connection and it looks great. It didn't come with instructions on where to put the velcro, does it go on the glas or on the plastic? the screen fits pretty snug without any attachments but i thought i should put it in the right place if i decide to use it.
i should be getting the side screens from Brian at classic MINI in ohio by week's end.

thanks,
avery

MiniG · Jun 16th, 2004, 04:03 AM

Can anyone else post a picture of what these look like? For some reason, certain pictures don't display to me, like the first on this thread...
All I get is a little green box with a question mark in it.

Thanks! Sounds like something I will be ordering...

Windshadow · Jun 16th, 2004, 08:08 AM

My rear screen is coming from Mikeythemini but here is a snap of one of the side screens

averyocooper · Jun 17th, 2004, 05:59 AM

i think i posted those early post photos from my gallery and have since deleted them, sorry. i can take some of my rear screen and the cool bag (with MINI logo!) that comes with it over the weekend.
cheers,
avery
