In this video tutorial, see how to remove the roof cover on a Mini Cooper R57. First, get inside the car and fully lower the windows. Then, remove the plastic panel at the top by prying at the edges, and use a T40 Torx screwdriver to unscrew the screws of the roof cover; after that, disconnect its electrical connector.

At this point, after removing the roof motor, take out the upper pillars and the roof cover itself, and fold it back into the top of the boot area by unscrewing the locking screws!
