Mini Cooper window sizes?

I haven't gotten my manual (bible) yet...it's been ordered, just not delivered...

I have a Mini Cooper S on the schedule for this weekend. Can anyone tell me what the height of the windows are? I'll be ordering a roll of film for it, but I don't want to order a 40" roll if I don't need it. It looks like a 20" roll would fit all windows...anyone?

Thanks,
Bryan

20" will work. Very easy car to do. Just remember to trick the windows. beer.gif

Great. Thanks for the info. I'll definately remember to hit the latch for the windows!

Thanks again,

when the windows pop up a 1/2 inch or so when you shut the door, some cars have an activation switch in the door jamb that if you take the screw out the windows will pop up...also if you latch the door making the window think the door is closed it will pop up so you can tint the whole thin gwith no unexpected light gap at the bottom thumb.gif

Hey

Just for info we used to de-trim the door panels and trick the lock on the old mini's. We also used to lacquer the botton front and back edge - as over time these windows can peel. As they are frameless rainwater can run around the edges and cause the bottom to peel.

The new 07 model is whole new ball game - its been redesigned. It's front windows out or tape the interior horizontal seal (which is tight up against glass) back. Oh and they need a small pre-shrink.

Good luck

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
