Greetings Mini Owners:
I have the privlege of driving a Mini Cooper S for the weekend. It has been a "blast". However, there is no owners manual in the glove box. I want to open the Bonnet, but I can't find the release latch.

Help. Where is this latch? Thanks for your help. BTW, I only live about 50 minutes from the Dragon, I might have to go "make a run" after church today.

This little mini is a great ride. You guys and gals who actually own one are very blessed. Now, how do I open that Bonnet?
Second, the windshield wipers do not work. They do work when I spray water, but not by themselves. Is there a quick fix for that? --chirokid--

The bonnet latch is located on the passenger's side footwell. As for the wipers not working, could you have moved the lever up 1 notch, which would put it in rain sensing mode? If its not raining then, the wipers will not move.

Thanks Over-rev-Man. Finally, I can check out the power plant!!!

Also, the wipers work. Embarassed grin, it was a "driver error."

Gotta go have some more fun. Wow, this little pocket rocket will fly. --chirokid--
