As some of you may know certain black roof MINIs have had issues with warping and dimpling roofs in the hot sun. Aparently MINI did listen to these concerns and according to someone who works in a MINI parts department there are now two part numbers for the main section of the roof. He told me that the new roof is seemingly further reinforced to resist warping in heat. I have yet to recieve independant confirmation on this but it looks like we might now have a solution to this issue.

For those of you who are newer to the MINI world or don't remember the issues last summer this Roadfly post should give you some background info. For instance it only happens to MINIs with black roofs and no sunroof.

Does anyone have info about this change? I think a lot of black roof owners out there are eagly awaiting some definitive news on this.
