We don't need warning triangles here but I thought it would be fun to get one for my 2002 MINI Cooper hard-top. When I returned that and got my 2005 MINI Cooper Cabrio, I took the warning triangle out but I don't see anywhere on the boot cargo shelf to mount it like it went in the 2002 MINI Cooper. Is it just a north american spec cargo shelf I have or is the triangle located elsewhere in the Cabrio?

TIA,
Harry

Thanks to both of you for your replies, here and in PMs. Just thought I'd cover all the bases since a search found you two had triangles in your cabrios.

So, on your parcel shelves are there the two mounting 'posts' where the holder goes or are there no posts? My 2002 MC had posts but my MCC's shelf doesn't seem to have them so I'm not quite sure where to mount the holder. I don't want the screws coming out the top and scratching the hood. My 2002 was a Canadian Launch Edition and still had some euro characteristics (like auto-up windows) but it seems my 2005 is fully north americanized

How is it held under the parcel shelf? Does anyone know the part numbers of the clips? It looks like they must be a different part than for the regular Cooper as there is no way the holders from my Cooper will fit my Cabrio. Right now it is just sliding around in the boot...
