It looks like it has all of the same hardware holding it down. It's got the same tracks as the front as well but I can't figure out how to open it if it does in fact open. Or crack. Or anything. I can't imagine they put all the hardware in for no good reason.

I have the 2015 Cooper S, btw, but I don't know if it matters.

The rear roof doesn't open at all which is a shame as it used to on the R series.

That IS a shame!! All that wasted hardware. What the heck. It looks exactly like the front from the inside with the tracks and all. Too bad.

it helps the manuf to keeps their costs down and make more $, and for a buyer you should be happy, one less thing to go wrong and cost you money to fix it when out of warranty. It was nice to have the rear moon-roof open up too, but like everything these days in Mini Land, it ALL changes, nothing stays the same...even the smaller storage compartment was standard, has been removed starting with the "2016" models.

Just another reason not to buy a sunroof why spend a $ 1000.00 for the roof if you only get $ 500.00 with the bang for the buck.:laugh::laugh:
