Like any vehicle, the Mini Cooper will have problems. If you own or plan to purchase a Mini Cooper convertible, you will be susceptible to other problems pertaining to the convertible feature. These are the common repair problems convertible Mini Cooper owners may face.

Mechanical

The mechanics of a convertible top in a Mini Cooper are pretty nifty and actually pretty expensive. If you are prospective Mini Cooper buyer, test the top several times before making a purchase decision. Any mechanical issues with a convertible can get expensive to repair since the mechanisms of tops are very complex and difficult to work on.

Leaking

The hard reality about convertibles is that leaks can occur. Natural causes can affect the top by creating holes or deterioration. If you are a potential buyer, your best bet is testing the top. Although it may seem odd to ask the dealer or owner to spray or hose water on the top to test for leaks, you have every right to do so.

Noise

Mini Cooper owners have faced noisey wind problems with their convertible tops. An easy addition to solve this problem would be purchasing a wind deflector which can be installed pretty simply without any need to visit your local Mini Cooper shop.
