Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we see how to repair the broken, or otherwise defective, rear hatch button of a Mini R56. This is a very common issue on this type of car, but we can replace the entire handle, already having the reinforced rubber button, with minimal cost. You can find it on AliExpress with code 60372231512, priced at 36.17 euros, with a shipping cost of 10.57 euros, and you can find it in both black and chrome, according to the color of your car and your preferences. Removing it is very easy, there are only Torx 20 screws to remove, then we will have to disconnect the electric connector that powers the license plate lights and the button. You could take the opportunity to switch to LED lights, if you haven't already: you can find the plates on Amazon with code B01N23LQ8G, priced at 19.99 euros, with free shipping for Prime customers.
