I'm not sure I can afford a conv. but I absolutely LOVE the orange!

I think it, if indeed it was made as a safety item, works well. If it was just a happy accident that's cool also. I wonder if it was planned? Mine is a 2002 MCS..R</p> GJR-I like the sticky top.

Check out any of the cars in your dealer's showroom and you'll see the difference.</p> R- yes- I noticed that too, but the newer cars have updated ones with a hard plastic insert and the leather stitching is revised too, so the stitches are on the inside and don't irritate your fingers the way the older one does.

At first thought I had something sticky on my hand. Most plastic isn't that sticky. I heard that it was a conscious thing by MINI to help keep your hand from sliding off the shifter. True? False? Myth? Bueller....anybody?...R</p> This is a little off the subject but has anybody ever noticed how sticky the clear material is on top of the shifter.

This info is great though!
