Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Bodywork
Operation: How to disassemble the roof of a Mini Cooper S R53 in less than 4 minutes.

In this video tutorial, we can see how it is possible to dismantle the ceiling in a Mini Cooper S R53 in less than 4 minutes, following simple steps: the first thing to do is to remove the seal and start loosening the plastic moldings, using bodywork levers, which will be used to loosen the moldings without damaging anything. The door seals must all be removed; then, we need to remove the sun visors, the clock, all the handles, if present also the rear dome light, the panel where the seat belt is located (only loosen it at the top), removing the seal. Collect all the disassembled pieces with their respective screws and place them in a small bowl to avoid losing them, and then reassemble them correctly in their place. The seals are simply reassembled by fitting them together without using any glue. To remove the mirror, simply turn it counterclockwise and then there is a small plastic clip to loosen, otherwise the ceiling cannot be removed. Once we have removed all the parts just described, to remove the ceiling, simply pull it from behind and it will come off. To reassemble, follow the same process in reverse.
