    I have a 2005 Mini Convertible. I am trying to replace the back two trim pieces that are between the Top and the body. Does anyone have basic instructions on how to do this and what tools I will need. Thanks Much

    Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community.

    Don't know much myself about the vert tops. Did move the thread to the 1st Gen Convertible area.

    There should be several screws that you can get to when you raise the back of the top. I still need to do this for mine as well just haven't gotten around to it yet.
