Hi, I hope somebody can help me..
I've come down to my car today outside my house with the rear window on my Mini Cooper convertible completely shattered. The same as many others on here, no clear evidence of vandilism. The glass has soley fallen onto the top of my boot, not a single shard is anywhere in my car which leaves me to presume it has simply combusted!
I have rang mini after seeing this forum and told them that it is apparently a known fault that mini are aware of, but shock horror, they deny any knowledge.
I am happy to fight this and print off this thread etc but my problem is that I didn't buy my car from a mini dealership, it was bought from a dealer on auto trader and is 8 years old with obviously no warranty.
Do I still have a case? I have been quoted £2500 for the roof to be replaced including labour (as the window itself cannot just be replaced alone). If it is a fault, surely it should be irrelevant where I bought the car and the age of it?
Helpppppp......
