My mini was dealer for a few weeks and got all seals replaced and b pillars repainted and a clear tape over the painted part. I have midnight black paint and it looks great once it was made good. Took a few months for seals to come from Germany and even got a loan of a brand new paceman to run about till mine was fixed
So well pleased with mini and the dealer in Dundee

I've been waiting for my seals since I reported initial damage in January. In all fairness, John Clark have put seals on one of their own cars and want to be absolutely satisfied with them before fitting to customers cars. The first re-design had apparently not been soft enough and still scratched.

Me too, I reported it to my dear about April, it was the first they had heard of it and almost didn't believe me. I ended up walking the lot with the general manager and service advisor looking at all the cars, nearly all hardtops had it. They buffed it out and I installed 3m film and it's been fine. I might ring them and give them the PuMa and see what they say.

I had the initial redesigned ones fitted a few months ago and fitted clear film myself as a precaution. Ill see if they will refit the new ones at service in a couple of months

 

[daydotz]

Are new cars now being fitted with these from the factory ?

Important: MINI does nothing!

The customer must complain by his/her Dealer


Even I'am sending a E-mail to Muenchen/Munich, bevor they help us.

Hi - I am supposed to pick up my car very very shortly and would like to make sure this problem has been resolved on my car. BUT I do not quite understand what this is all about and where about on the car. Can anyone please elaborate?

Cheers

 

[hansnl1]

I'am thinking its only the F56 (3 doors).
also not the F55

Look at the pictures, these area's

 

[MiniMpi]

My February 2016 build which is 8 days old, has the infamous rub marks already on the door jam
Reported it to my dealer and I'm going to fit some 3M clear film myself before it gets any worse.

 

[gwj]

That's not good to hear Ferg, I pick mine up tomorrow.




What is this 3M clear film? Anyone got a link?

 

[MiniMpi]

Yes it's a bit disappointing as I thought this problem was fixed at this stage. The dealer will fit some clear film/vinyl over the area as a 'temporary fix' apparently.
It just invisibly covers over the problem area to protect it from any damage.

I bought some film off ebay. Its bicycle frame tape

 

[jeremybingham]

Cheap as chips on ebay-similar to what i used. Mini have been rediculously slow on this one-it;ll end up costing them a fortune!

Is that enough for both sides ?

Sounds like im going to need it for mine i had hoped this would have been solved by now considering dealers have a fix

 

[jeremybingham]

Plenty .make a paper template first.buy a bit more if you operate via trial and error

 

[MiniMpi]

I bought from the same seller actually but went for a smaller amount, hopefully enough.

 

[jeremybingham]

You really need very little about 100mm long to cover the curved area maybe a little more.

 

[MiniMpi]

Thanks mate, should have enough so.
