R50/53 Things You Didn't Know About Your MINI
#2026
I started reading this tread but works starting to catch on to my habits of checking NAM and not working . So to save myself from trouble, anyone know of a quick way to set up they key to make the windows/ sunroof open and close from a distance? Is that something I would have to go to a dealer for?

Any help on this?
You can counter rotate the rear view mirrors so that the mirror faces the ground....a nice feature to rid the mirror housing of water when washing to prevent it from blowing all over the side of the car after laborously drying what you thought was every last drop of water from your MINI!

One of my mirror covers is loose and I'm afraid of forcing too much. And it drives me crazy trying to get the water out of the mirrors after washing.
Thanks.

Up and into the downward position? Is the final position with the mirror facing the ground? Any chance for a picture?

When you replace them, try to keep some UV protector wax and/or plastic treatment on them. The yellow won't come out, IMHO...

I've seen a few other owners park so that the back of their cars are lined up with the next one. There's no law that says you have to pull your car all the way to the front of the parking space. Now if only we could do something about the morons who don't care if they hit our cars just because they drive a "beater"/ company car!

I just learned that with the Emergency Flashers on, if you press the brake pedal, the Emergency Flashers are deactivated and stop flashing and the brake lights get priority.
The same with the turn signals. If the flashers are on and you activate either the left or right turn signal, the emergency flashers deactivate and the turn signal selected gets priority.
That's actually some pretty ingenious thinking to do that.
I discovered this doing a walk-around of my car the check lights.

...yep, my 2013 Clubman is my first new car in a good long while... parked at the airport, some meathead put a nice dent in my new car. I politely left a note on his door. In Sharpie marker. Which will be a beeotch to paint over! I put an arrow pointing to my BRG paint on his door, and the note "If you'd have paid more attention, neither of us would have to be getting our cars repaired." A little immature of me (I'm 62) but I didn't feel like leaving a shoeprint in the door with no explanation...
I would have taken out the trailer hitch and put a dent in every one of his body panels with the 1 7/8" ball....
