There was no accident or foul play involved. The glue that bonds the window to the top became unglued. This happened at 70,000 miles. The top is made of fabric and the window is made out of glass. Have to you replace the entire top to repair it. Not sure why this is not a recall. It is a well-known problem for the car. https://plaincars.com/make/mini-cooper-s https://plaincars.com/make/mini-cooper-s#complaint-2140436 Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT I purchased a vehicle 2013 mini Cooper hardtop S r56 from Chevy Nissan of Walla Walla on [XXX].

About 1/4 to 1/3 of a gallon of fuel will go in before it turns off, backs up, and the gas overflows onto the outside of the car and onto the concrete. It happens regardless of the pump being used.

Ive seen this in several other mini cooper roadsters within the past few weeks. This causes the car to have a hole in the convertible top and leaves the glass hanging from the sensor. To fix it you need to buy a whole new top. This HAS to be a design defect. https://plaincars.com/make/mini-cooper-s https://plaincars.com/make/mini-cooper-s#complaint-2113607 Thu, 24 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT Failure of the Footwell Module failed due to corrosion by water intrusion as diagnosed by Mini Dealership.
